Nope. People work hard on their instructions to sell and it is their way of raising money to help out their family with extra income. If you look on any youhave purchased, most are copywrite protected.

I agree. You are essentially selling someone else's work for profit and that profit you gain is yet another person's work. It is like taking money out of the author's pocket.

i am not talking about getting money for it. I am talking swaping with another person for one they have purchased. I understand people sell them to make money. Or i would have never bought any. I can make most things on my own or figuer them out but i have bought instructions from lynn ( her stuff is awsome) and they are great.

If you swap with someone else, you are still making money off of it. Say the ebook you have already purchased costs $10, so you spent $10 to acquire the knowledge of how to "do" something. You are minus $10 dollars but plus said knowledge. Now, you swap with someone else for lets just say another $10 ebook... now you are plus (+) knowledge in something else but you are not minus (-) the $$ for said knowledge. That brings your tally to +2 for ebooks/knowledge for a total of $0.00 when you should be at -$20. So essentially you made $10 off of the deal which means you indeed got money for it, it just brought your spent tally to $0 so it is not money in hand but money none-the-less.

Agreeing with the other posters. Trading, swapping, sharing, all very much frowned upon. Once you have the instructions, you have the knowledge. I know Lynn, I'm sure she, like me, would not be happy to learn that her instructions were being traded with others. It's not like selling or giving away "used" items.

ok..thanks for sharing your ladies thoughts on this. i had someone ask me about this once and they gave a very convincing argument. but i can see your point. I would have asked the other forum but there are so many there that i was afraid to start drama. so i came here less peeps, less drama.

I am glad you all answered this. I was trying to think how to word it and you both did a wonderful job doing so. Thank you

Agree! No swapping
