This is making it more difficult for the DIY enthusiast & also makes this forum more relevant.

I cannot purchase any workshop information from MB in Aust. & the Haynes manual in the W204 has not been published yet.

Greedy and well deserved! Instead of selling them, upload it to the internet for all to access, free of charge

Selling was the problem. Much of this data is considered to be in the public domain.

I have heard of vendors selling similar items labeled as recycled paper pads. They also just happened to list the types of things that may have been printed on them to make you feel better about "reusing" the paper and saving the environment.

Not sure what you mean, Glyn.

Information in the public domain can be sold at will. Public domain means there are no attached property rights.

Do you mean that people mistakingly assume this information to be public domain when, in fact, MB holds the copyright?

Regards,
