Anyone have a server that they would be willing to host these files on for
public download?

Wouldn't there be a copyright issue to consider?

Might be. Depends on the documents and whether the publisher/manufacturer
has opened rights to reprint the material.

It wouldn't be illegal to possess it, but if you try to distribute it
they'll eventually come after you. There appears to be a mini industry
popping up that goes around suing people on behalf of the RIAA, HBO, etc.
They basically try to download Harry Potter or Kid Rock or whatever and if
they do, they threaten legal misery and woe if you don't withdraw the
content. I think they get paid per legal notice, so the more they find the
more they make.

In the last month they've changed their tactics and they're going after
college kids, telling them they can settle for $3,000-$7,000 or they can
battle it out at much greater cost in court. 'Cause, you know...the movie
and recording industries are so completely destitute. Madonna NEEDS the
money.
