							| Links to copyrighted books 
 |  
							| Hello,   Recently we have seen many posts with direct links to copyrighted books. I think this is against the principles of this website. We are a group of creative teachers, and we hate when other people "steal" our work. I think it is the same for the authors of those books. I know that you post those links to help other teachers, but I think that this is not the place to share those books, and I ask you to stop those posts. I will also remove the previous ones, to avoid copyright problems.   I hope you understand.      Hugs,  Victor |  26 May 2009

							| I agree with you decision. I myself have used the links to download some books but you �re absolutely right when you say we have to be respectful of copyrights. Have a good day! |  26 May 2009

							| No problem, Missola. Please don �t feel bad. I just want to avoid this in the future. That �s all. I �m not criticising anyone.   Hugs |  26 May 2009

							| Hi, I am glad this stopped, however useful the links were. You tried to be nice and helpful, but, in fact, that was something that was not correct. We can �t state some rules for the others and get some different ones for us. Anyway, thank you to those who tried to  help everyone, expecting no """"" points """"" in return. That is what we call sharing, isn �t it?  
 Nowadays, even sharing is getting more and more difficult.
 
 Thanks Victor, if we want this site to walk upwards, your iron hand is more and more necessary
 Hugs

							| I`m really sorry! I didn`t realize the implications. I`m ready to stand through thick and thin for� eslprintables. In fact I haven`t visited those sites ever since I`ve joined eslprintables, since you are so inspiring, supportive and sharing, I didn`t have time or wish to visit those sites.� |  10 Mar 2010
