The ethics of copying Finno-Ugrian books?

[Ove Lorentz]

Trond, you are thinking of Jeffrey Harlig, who in 1993 translated the  
seven first chapters of _Marijskij jazyk dlja vsex_ (Mari for  
Everyone! Part I). He may not have translated any more, since he had  
word processing problems. He was kind enouh to send me a copy. Harlig  
was then at the Dept of Uralic and Altaic Studies at Indiana University.
