I take issue with them making money selling someone else's work, and I believe this is obviously wrong. If you didn't actually write the manual, how is it not wrong to make money continuously selling it when you've already made your money?
Scanning someone else's document and making $10 for your time is possibly OK, but selling it 100 times or more and keeping the $1,000 is obviously (to me) wrong.
Just my opinion of course. I have the manual now, incidentally, and have asked Bernina if it's OK to give it away.
