| Darryl,
Being relatively new to this file, I think this is a wonderful idea,
especially since I don't have any information on Lazaris but would
love to get all I culd lay my hands on, however... From past
experiences and a word from the wise in Northboro, where my mail
goes through, I have found out that inter-office mail is randomly
inspected. If it is not paper, they open it and trash the material.
I have *lost* two CD's I paid for (in CDSWAP) this way. No one is
notified of this either.
I just thought I'd warn you about this before anything goes awry.
But, please do let us know what you decide.
Still interested in Lazaris library,
Roslyn

Darryl, I, too, think it's a great idea. So often in the
past I could have used this. I don't have many of the tapes from
the past 3-4 years because I have been to every lecture (afternoon
or evening session) since my first seven years ago (and all were
recorded and made available until or unless they were superceded.)
I enjoy listening to the tapes and ocassionally do, but for me
I mostly use notes now (which clearly you can take by listening to
the tapes.) If money is difficult, this is certainly easier than
buying. (Although at a certain point, this "argument" becomes
very weak...this is a tangent not to take now, however.)
I know from my own personal "experience" that Concept:Synergy
takes a very defensive, dim view of the copying of their stuff.
They feel (as anyone who deals in copywritten materials does) that
if someone wants it badly enough, they will pay for it themselves
or find legitimate methods for utilizing the information. Borrowing
is considered legitimate, as far as I can tell. To the extent of
copywriting, I understand that they now state that phone conversations
are considered proprietary, too. What I haven't found out is
how they might be able to protect that since there is only one copy
made of the phone calls (to my knowledge) and that is given to the
person having the conversation. Perhaps it is meant as a matter
of trust or in the case where something is printed (a "Lazaris
says"...) Breaking the agreement could mean no further conversations,
however (I speculate.)
Anyway, back to the library. Perhaps this is something that
would be easier to do with people you can meet in person or maybe
using U.S. mail. I would protect myself by using copies of tapes
(nothing wrong with this if it for myself) to be used as trade
materials, though. This would help ensure not losing something.
I, personally, would prefer to not get involved in this way at this
time...it would be too time consuming since people would be
approaching me all the time (since I already have so many tapes.)
But I certainly encourage those who are interested to pursue it.
