And I know that Steve doesn't feel good about that copyright violation
either. He depends on various folks paying a high retail prices for Pavels
books.

But the HFL situation is so bizzare and has been for over twenty years. It

idea where they are.

Tell us what you think of this Steve Freides. We would like to know.
