I\'m one of the so-called \"fools\" who bought this. Having followed the online discussions from the beginning I am satisfied that nothing illegal or immoral has taken place. I\'m aware that the articles are available for free on the site but I rarely have internet access when I\'m painting so this e-book is of particular use to me. I see the payment as a contribution to CMON for being able to access already published information offline and am more than happy to support this as an extra service much like the membership payment to switch off ads and access a favourites list etc.
I do however take exception to being branded a \"fool\" by someone who seems to have no legitimate interest in this issue.
I have to say that im one of the \"fools\" that bought this and must say that for someone like me who is not the best painter in the world it is really useful. I havnt started a subscription as yet but am planning on it in the very near future and not that my pics would be worth putting on id be happy as larry to have them used in any book! I think some people just want everything in life for free.
I for one have to say that I support CMON. I am a member and I have also bought the ebook. I think CA has done a great job and I hope cmon stays up for many more years to come!
edit: Oh, and apparently I am one of the \"fools\" as well!:moon:
