You have got to be kidding , my friend. If you think that Kinko's management
is so brave and bold as to take the responsibility for such a decision
without corporate lawyers beating this issue to death you live on a
different planet. A corporate VP who did that would have been put in an
asylum as soon as the ink of his signature dries.

Absolutely, but then, they are not responsible - it is you who broke the
law. They have no more responsibility in this case as rental car agency if
you hit and kill someone driving the car you rented from them. But if you
want THEM to make the copies, its a different story.

Yes, NOW, after I got a legal opinion that there is a huge difference in
interpretation of copyright laws, I am not interested.
