    Does anyone else find it ironic that the Watchtower places literature on the internet, encourage people to download and share it, but then warns no to post it on the internet? Isn't posting on the internet the no.1 method of sharing information in this day and age? And what, exactly, constitutes "posting on the internet".

    Link doesn't work when you need to quote a specific part of the article. I think it still shoulld be possible under copyright / fair use.

    This is pretty much a non-issue. That's a standard line in the T&C of pretty much every website ever.
