It's just common curtesy and respect and more than likely, the author would give you permission because you asked first.
I respectfully disagree. Destroying tutorials I've probably put hundreds of dollars into is not an option. What a waste of money. I might as well have just tossed all that money in the garbage can. I might as well then take the hard cover books I have with tutorials in them and toss them as well. Doesn't make one iota of sense to me.
If I'm getting out of lampworking totally I see no problem with selling off the tutorials.
If I'm terminally ill and dying I see no problem with selling off the tutorials.
If I die and my family is left with selling off all my lampworking equip, etc I've already told my husband sell off EVERYTHING including the 2 spiral notebooks of printed tuts as well as the cd's. I no longer print out the tuts because of cost.
I see no difference in pdf tutorials vs. books loaded with tutorials.
JMHO but I am one of those people that feels when I purchase something - spend my money on a product, which a tutorial is - IMHO - then I have the right to do with that product as I please. It is mine.

I realize I am most likely in the minority here and I understand that and that's fine. If we all felt the same, what a boring life it would be.
