What part of 18 USC 1905 don't you understand?

If there is any doubt as to the laws governing the proper behavior with regards to retransmission of materials briefed to folks in Government by Small Business (or anyone else for that matter) fear not I will show you the way.

John: 8-32

"Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

Title 18 of the U.S. Code Section 1905 (18 USC 1905) is written with such clairty that if you have command of the english language and respect for the rule of law it leaves no room for any excuses.

TITLE 18—CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE

United States or of any department or agency
