Re: Helium permeability in Latex

The quick and dirty way around copyright is to set up web space in a country
that does not respect copyright laws thought a like minded local and post
what ever you wish by sending it to him one CDROM and having him put it up
on the web page. That method would not leave any tracks.

You could probably get away with renting the web space yourself and posting
from here but there would by a trail to follow that lawyers could use to
harass you.
