Be careful, that is probably protected by copyright. You would not be the first person here to hear from a copyright holder about possible infringements.

Say what???
This wasn't copied from a book, it was copied from a pulp paperback Shooter's Bible 1989- millions of copies sold- and I never took credit for writing it- Dr. Jim Cassada, a fine Southern gentleman writer from the South- wrote it--how can he sue me for copyright infringement on something that public and that old sent to a brother PGCA member (and Veteran) and not done for profit- You aren't a lawyer by any chance, are you???

Not a lawyer but look at the issues from time to time. Copyright is a complicated issue.
You not taking credit for writing it is not a copyright issue - that would have been plagiarism. Whether or not a motive is for profit, it is the act of making the copy that is arguably the infringement. Doesn't matter if it's a book, a magazine, a cd or whatever, copyright is held by the author. That person can grant permission for the work to be copied (sometimes for a fee). Once the author is dead, the material moves into the public domain - but not until the author has been dead for something like 70 years I think. Then there's the whole "fair use" greyish area I doubt that the author will want to sue anybody over these copies and the copyright police won't come knocking but such remedies are available. Pretty hard to monitor all the photocopiers, video recorders, mp3 recorders etc etc etc. that are an accepted technology. Probably a "bazillion" potential infringements on any given hour around the planet. How does anyone enforce that? Big time piracy for profit is the action most likely to be pursued. I think the DI might say "stand easy" Disclaimer: The foregoing is not presented as legal advice. No animals were harmed in the making of this movie.

Very much appreciated, Jack
Wisdom and insight from the North- and 'stand easy' or the second phase- 'stand by to stand by' works for me. Now that I reflect- if I had just sent him the entire heavy pb book w/o Zeroxing the baker pages- no problemo- Just trying to do a fellow Veteran and PGCA amigo a favor- next time-- I'll just call him on his cell phone and read him the text- verbatium--
