contact chrysler. how much money do they make off of this book, and for
that matter, won't this be helping them out? i don't see how publishing
this will hurt them, because most of us don't have an FSM, and we're not
planning on getting one.
yeah, publishing the book is illegal for consent reason, but you can get
consent from them.
give them a call

You really think it will be that anonymous? We leave a trail everywhere.
They can find the DML archives. The hosting ISP could give up logs and
names when lawysers threaten.
"aww, c'mon, who's gonna get hurt" really isn't a valid defense against
this. The FSM states on PAGE ONE that any storage & distribution of the
contents is prohiubited without express consent from Chrysler.
