Whats the rule regarding "leaking" ebooks of banned members - skelly76 - Aug 18, 2016

I bought a $6 ebook a long while ago and the seller has been banned. This ebook is an old "Doxing Ebook". I think the information in it can be useful to many members so I want to share it. Is this against rules?

It is public information but it's a nicely written, compact PDF, I plan on releasing it for free obviously not going to sell another members work lol. Getting this beats buying other doxing shit when it's all the same.

Should I just write my own paraphrasing his?

They're banned for a reason so, fuck them. 🤝 Don't sell that shit though just drop it since it's probably public.

Is he banned or is he closed

It's neither right nor allowed to leak a paid book even if the user has been banned.

I don't think it's allowed, but I am also interested in seeing if it's really allowed or not.

I know but doxing info is just so public that I want to help out all the members considering buying all the shit people have out there.

Yeah public af so idk. Just trying to see if I'll break any rules.

If it's really public, then just rewrite things and include information from other sources (not the eBook).

Not allowed.
