Oh and to be clear I'm happy (and morally obligated) to honour the law.<div><br></div><div>If I see evidence Crosswire holds exclusive license to control the distribution of some modules, I will honour that license.<div>
<br></div><div>However, if no such legal restrictions apply, I am bound by a greater commission and intend to distribute all of the modules I'm legally able to do so. I provide this proxy service for some who are not able to make it to Crosswire directly safely (and are technically prohibited from using an onion router (tor network).<span></span></div>
<div><br></div>Without legal authority to claim exclusive rights, it is hypocrisy to freely and publicaly distribute text one doesn't own, non-commercially while denying others the same right. It is kind of like tithing dill and mint while ignoring weightier matters of law. One must possess rights before one denies others them.<br>

<br>Yup, policy is no mirrors at this point in time.<br>It is thought that there _may_ be room in the future for some, but these will be done from a *.<a href="http://crosswire.org" target="_blank">crosswire.org</a> domain so as to satisfy copyright requirements.<br>
