Good call on the edit, Ernest.  We don't want the jailed mass murderer to call Dave on copyright infringement.
Copyright is copyright.  Tho to be fair, I wasn't the one to report it.  Still, copyright shouldn't be reserved for the rich, or the powerful, or the sane.

How would this not easily fall under Fair Use? This was a political candidate for statewide office who wrote a manifesto intended for wide, free non-commercial distribution. Reproducing his text does not cause any damages or financial loss to him.

Wouldn't you assume that his intent here is to maximize the distribution of the ideas he presented, and that he would want this information widely disseminated? Does it make any logical sense that anyone would, never mind could, sue over this?

The Unabom Manifesto is in the public domain. The writer wants it that way.

There's no commercial value in what this nut wrote, including his Holocaust denial. After all, no member of the Jewish cabal that dominates publishing (sarcasm intended) would ever buy and publish this bilge except as an example of what is wrong with antisemitism. The Jewish bankers* who dominate the economy would never let the money change hands.

He is in no position to gain from it. Maybe his site could be sold, but that has nothing to do with copyright laws.

I would save it as an illustration of the crankiness of antisemitism. If one wants to know who hates the Jews and why... here it is. Never mind that the vast majority of Jews are honorable, upstanding people and that Judaism is one of the most benign religions in the modern world.


*Jews are scarce in the banking industry, and the few Jewish banks that there are cater to Jewish customers.  The canard of Jewish control of banking is a great myth.
