WINM already has most of them, but there's at least one I don't have, and it's likely that there'll be many more of those in future.

I don't like the idea of just stealing them. :\\

It's kind of messy to have a split archive, though, with some articles here and some over there. It makes the completist in me twitch.

... was thinking the same the other day, when reading that Gibson/Longo interview...

dunno... maybe write them a mail asking permission to copy the few articles you don't have? offer to give them other articles instead? as barter?

whoever is behind the site, I don't think it's Merlin. so dunno how they will react...
but I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask :\\

other opinions?

I'm in doubt the barter is a good idea. I think it's better asking the permission and maybe adding a thanks to the site where you take the article.
It's just my opinion.


for solving the specific problem, the article form Wired july 1995 about Johnny Mnemonic is there: http://www.yoz.com/wired/1.03/index.html in this page is divided in two parts: "Remembering Johnny" and "Notes on a Process". I hope I help you.

I agree with gulbie. Ask permission and add the thanks bit. If they ever want to do the same, they will.

It is Merlin. We looked up the owner a coupla months ago. Something could have changed between now and then of course.
Just e-mail cause the webmaster is friendly.
