HCSB downloads

Since so many people have been asking, and I’m getting tired of sending a 2mb attachment, I’ve decided to upload the Holman Christian Standard Bible modules for e-Sword and PocketPC e-Sword to this site. You can get the PC version here and the PocketPC version here. My disclaimer is that I have no idea where these came from, and if the original author finds out and wants these taken down, that’s his right. But since I don’t know who the original author is, I’m distributing these in the public domain. Enjoy!

:EDIT: So Rick says that Broadman-Holman changed their minds about offering it for free for e-sword users. This means they’re trusting that no one who downloaded it will ever again share it with friends. This is a pretty dumb assumption, but then I’ve always been cynical that way. SO…

Since I never did download it for e-sword, I suppose I can’t offer it myself. But, perhaps someone who DID download it for himself and DOES have his own website and WANTS to have a sharing attitude could. And he’ll be getting an email from me shortly.

    Those are available from here (e-Sword only) and here (e-Sword for PocketPC). Good News Publishers has made these releases available right from Rick Meyers’ site.

    Sweet! Thanx! Danke! Gracias! And any other language! Oh yeah! Merci Bouque?! (I learned how to spell that in first grade, so it’s been a looooong time.)

    They were originally available on e-sword.net, (at least that’s where I got it) but they’ve since been taken down.

    Would have done this privately but found no email address.

    From above: “But since I don’t know who the original author is, I’m distributing these in the public domain. Enjoy!”

    Holman publishing probably owns the rights and I suspect they would not appreciate the modules being offered. Part of copyright law is a responsibility on the part of one distributing to determine whether it is okay or not - a statement of not knowing is not adequate.

    I’d suggest you contact Holman, and or a copyright lawyer to see where you stand offering them for free.

    I was told that the E-sword site withdrew them because it was no longer okay for them to offer the modules.

    Thought you might want to check things out.

    Even saying “hi” to a lawyer entails some sort of fee. But I will check with Rick Meyers and see what’s going on.

    Email received, mounty. However, I checked with the e-Sword license, and this it what says.

    You may not host e-Sword files, neither the program itself nor any associated modules, on any web site or server on the Internet.

    So I guess the only way I can distribute them is through email. I’m not going to publish my email (call me paranoid), but mounty knows it and can get ahold of me if necessary. Deal?

    Hi I had a free copy before they took it down about two years ago. I finally got e-sword to work on my MAC and I think I should be able to use my previous files.

    Could you email me a copy, please and thank you.
