Is this proper ?

[Mike Mag]

As I was researching an Onkyo TX-88, I stumbled onto this.
This does not seem proper to me but I am not sure what I should do about it
Seems they are selling someone else’s “work” for $9

It is free from hifi engine, which is where they seem to be getting it from

Capitalism.

I doubt that the manual is copyrighted.

I have no idea if JaS would want to be notified of this theft of his work, the cover sheet at least.
