Comments on: Never Pay For Copies http://www.crimethinc.com/blog/2006/10/18/never-pay-for-copies/ This website will function as a clearinghouse for bulletins from participating cells, enabling readers to keep abreast of their activities and, more importantly, coordinate activities with them.

The free printing/copying sections may be of some use :) http://www.crimethinc.net/node/2476 (or if the .net site hasn't updated yet, here's a mirror: http://rorta.net/forum/showthread.php?t=735 ).

We could mobilize the movement with enough dedication and a few individuals. Seriously. The equipment is the expensive part, so I'm currently looking at the best local places to wander and accidentally land the shit in my pocket. Also have to get my friend's laptop prepared and a souldering iron. I'll report the results with some (free! -- envision free transit, copies, "gift cards," and the like) samples to the Far East. THIS IS OF COURSE A COMPLETE JOKE I JUST MADE, Mister Hoover. I’ve done some preliminary research.

I've never been a college student, but dressing up for the occasion has always leveled the playing field. You could also apply to work at a kinko's and make a habit of looking the other way while your circle of friends cycle through making copies en masse. Surely you will find a way—being poor has only prepared us to do what it takes, don't let poverty get between you and sharing with your community! “Necessity is the mother of in(ter)vention.”

Anyway, thanks for the links. “Heh, how peculiar to see someone from Crimethinc (?) being at least somewhat supportive of the digital medium for a change…” It’s funny you say that, for a lot of reasons, but most funny is that the above post has nothing to do with the digital medium, but with making physical copies of publications.

Simplified, one page, pamphlet-style version: http://www.dizzy.ws/free.your.books.singleside.pdf Free Your Books! A Guide to Scanning Books and Zines, http://www.dizzy.ws/free.your.books.doubleside.pdf a duplex version. And the singleside version http://www.dizzy.ws/liberez.vos.livres.singleside.pdf in French, and the http://www.dizzy.ws/liberez.vos.livres.doubleside.pdf duplex French version. *A couple more links that have some propaganda to print: zinelibrary.net & rorta.net . (I'm also 'working' on a textfile on free printing/copying, so that should pop up somewhere sooner or later...) Hope this helps!
