A PDF is a much more mobile and distributable format — the fact it’s illegal is an afterthought.

I mean, that book is on the shelf at Barnes & Noble, I browsed past it not more than 4 days ago…is the Military section of Barnes & Noble a hotbed of Jihadi material, too? There were great books on improvised weapons and survival skills, all written in English by white people…just like the Encyclopedia of Modern US Military Weapons.
