"If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment."

Normally I’m a stickler for upholding the law, particularly copyright laws as the stereotypical perpetrators are only out for personal gain, yet this noble gentleman is more akin to Robin Hood. Huzzah and well done Big Hy Strachman!  :)

Yes, Mr. Strachman is a Robin Hood for his Generosity!  Huzzah!

Copyright laws are still Copyright laws, but since he doesn't keep the master copies, I would consider him to be a "private distributor".  Or should I say a heroic distributor.  ;)
