After the last post, something I'd had stashed away for a long time came to mind: my personal PDF library.

Over the years, I've been amassing a huge collection of books on self-defense, agriculture, self-sufficiency, architecture, equipment maintenance, electricity, survival, mechanics, geography, farming... in short, a veritable hodgepodge that ends up being a kind of practical encyclopedia for life outside the grid.

The thing is, seeing all this, I had a question about copyrights. The idea I'd been thinking about was something similar to those sites where they post books and you can pay in SATs to download them. My plan wasn't to "sell" them in the strict sense, but rather to set a nominal price (I wasn't thinking of something as high as 10,000 SATs, but something much more affordable) and at the same time allow anyone who needs them to download them freely, and I also included the Amazon link (for example) where the book is sold.

The purpose was never to make a profit, but rather to share knowledge. Perhaps someone, somewhere, will find in these books a tool, an idea, or a lesson that can bless their life. Because in the end, what's the point of accumulating all that material if it stays stored on my hard drive without reaching the people who really need it and are looking for it?

What do you think?

Is it worth creating a space like this, where contributing in SATs is optional and the main thing is that the material circulates and helps?

Or do I just "make them pay"?
