Platt,
You are correct sir. To simply post it without any kind of permission
would probably violate Pirsig's dissemination rights. Although our
particular activities may fall under the fair-use protections of the federal
copyright act (think about it: the same effect could be achieved by creating
a simple index listing where various passages can already be found in the
archives; passages which are clearly protected by the fair-use doctrine).
Of course, when I wrote that quick post, I was merely suggesting how
easy it would be to get the typing done. Clearly, the best route would be
for someone to write to Pirsig on behalf of the forum and get his opinion on
the notion of an online text of LILA to be used by the participants in this
forum for the sake of discussing his philosophy. There are sites with
online versions of ZMM (for example, http://www.csn.ul.ie/~chopper/zen/)...
and another through Tarleton State, so I think there's reason to believe
that Pirsig may approve.
