Does anyone have a pdf copy that was floating around ? If so, would someone be kind enough to send me a copy. I know, I am going to get trashed for this. Count Dante, LOL. He is a part of Karate and Kenpo history.

Thanks,
Bill

I have more than a few books that are way over valued aftermarket price. It is a joke. I hate it. Copyright length laws are archaic and should be more reasonable in length. Drugs that can save people, extend their lives or elevate symptoms only get 20 years. But art and entertainment some how gets a length of time we will all die first and our children will be in their 50's.

Example- http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/Sear...=street+karate.

I own this. I love anything McSweeney. It is not worth that. 20 bucks tops.

I have maybe 20 others that hit a 1000 plus. They are not even 50 years old yet. I do have one that is 50 and commands a small fortune and you would be lucky to find 5 for sale anywhere in the world at any given time and most likely 1. It is worth so much because it was banned. Pulled from shelves and considered dangerous. It is perfectly legal to own and always was. Just sale was stopped. It is not worth what they ask for it. Maybe in 200 years. People over inflate out of greed and I hate that.

I am sure most collectors and writers are in fact glad they have such a long copyright protection. I simply disagree with it. It keeps things out of the publics availability far to long. Or makes it so cost prohibitive no one will ever get a chance to see it.
