I have no indication that this link is time limited in any way, either.
Didn't work.
Only 16.6 MB. I downloaded it in less than 1 minute.
Thanks!
For some reason it's taking forever to download. However, once it's done I will put it on my site (http://www.alwaysright.org) in the Downloads section.
I am troubled by the ETHICS of using a "trial site" (designed by honest business to sell a product and make a living) in such a "dishonest" way!
IF you paid for the bandwidth, then it is ok - but you are, in fact, stealing bandwidth from this person.
ONLY scumbag lawyers would disagree with me trying to say "it wasn't written so ..."
SHAME! (to quote an earlier story on here!)
You can grab it here, as long as I have bandwidth: http://www.alwaysright.org/NewSoldier.pdf
(Sigh)
I am using the trial site for the very simple reason that Kerry's Lawyers shut down sites that carry the book. The majority of sites that carry the book carry a synopsis only, that's why my file is so much bigger.
I do understand your point about using the site for a non-intended purpose- but since the Internet's bigggest use, and therefore biggest bandwidth user, is for pornography I hardly feel that the small amount of bandwidth I/we use in this quest for spreading truth to be significant.If the company didn't want to take that chance they should not offer the service. Many of those sites are used for trading banned pornography, as it's untraceable, or at least, very difficult to trace. Does the company screen for content? I will be using that company's sites in the future for other purposes, largely due to the ease of use of their software/hosting products. I feel that will be adequate compensation. It's like going to a bar that offers free food for happy hour. Some people use them to eat for free and don't drink. But enough do that the practice continues.
While we're splitting hairs- what about CBS's use of the public airwaves to spread lies and forgeries? I use electricity at home ( a public utility) to watch televsion. Will CBS give me a refund of the electricity I used?

The main difference is that these server providers are MOSTLY small one-person operations who count on the small revenues for living. They are NOT the MSM nor the dnc/rnc with million$. These providers have to PAY for those servers and for the bandwidth that YOU are using.
1:) The site is put up with software that offers the feature (trial site) as they hope to sell their software.
2:) I have not hacked anything, they OFFER the service
3:) They do not put restrictions on content
4:) They DO, however, scan the content and inser a links bar that has paid ads- in my case, links to Kerry's campaign and fund raising organisations for Kerry
SO- WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?
NOTHING I am doing violates their rules- the only vioalation is of the copyright of Kerry's book, which has been out of print for 33 years. I fail to see how this, therefore, robs the richest man EVER to run for President in America's history of much of anything. What- he won't be able to rent another DVD from Netflix to play on his $7,000 Plasma Video Flat Screen T.V. (The one on his 35,000,000 Gulfstream V private jet, I mean- not the ones in his mansions around the world).
SHEESH!!!
