For anybody that requires it.

Any sign of the bigger manuals?

Be advised that the U.S Leaf requires a service much more frequently that that in Ireland.

U.S intervals are about 7,500 miles (12,000 Kms) or once a year and in Ireland about 18,600 miles , 30,000 Kms or once a year whichever comes first.

There was huge controversy over this and the manual was ( from what I've read ) re written by Nissan USA to keep dealers happy by getting owners to return to spend money much more frequently.

You really should have the European version of the manual.

After reading through this download last night. Have to agree.
The service schedule in this book is madness.

Some Irish dealers put a "next service due" sticker saying 15,000 kms which is just pure dishonest.

It's a torrent file, [snip]
Mods, if there's a problem with this post please delete....

Mod note: perfectly fine mentioning that it exists. Just can't use boards to point people to it.

Now why could you not use boards to point to the manual ?

It may be on a site where people may share files which may land boards.ie in trouble.

If the PDF is already downloaded, depending on size it could be uploaded as part of a post though.

Attaching the file is even more of an issue as it's copyrighted material and that's forcing boards to host it.
I think you'd probably be on the right side of the rules posting a link to a google search that just happens to provide helpful search results.

Is there an actual legal issue here ? I'd actually like to know.

Yes, I believe torrent sites are illegal. Torrents is where I can get free music, movie and computer software.

theres no legal, i.e. copyright issue , with a link ( as was confirmed by a recent decision of the ECJ)

Furthermore factory service manuals upto the 2015 model leaf are available legitimately free of charge in PDF form from http://www.nicoclub.com/archives/nissan-leaf-factory-service-manuals.html

also for the princely sum of 6 pounds you can buy it in CD format etc

Note that under both US and EU law , Nissan must release servicing information ( and access to spare parts) to any third party service agent, not just those authorised by Nissan. ( that includes you )

A torrent in itself is not illegal , the downloading , i.e. copying of material that has not got a specific releases to do just that , is illegal , in certain circumstances


You are allowed to access copyright information for certain thing s

(a) non commercial personal research
(b) educational purposes
(c) for review etc ( limitations apply )

Copyright is not a blanket ban on accessing information

What a website allows or its policy is of course is entirely different

That's correct. But they still retain the copyright on the actual materials they write and can charge for access.

The Fair Use/Fair Dealing covers non commercial personal research and educational purposes but those exemptions would not cover posting that material on boards.
And while personally I know that a torrent file containing tracker info and a few hashes of copyrighted material isn't the same thing as the copyright material itself, courts have rules against that opinion.
And there have also been multiple cases where merely linking to the torrent has been prosecuted successfully.

At the very least I'd like to add another layer there, where someone can still be pointed to where they can get the files without directly linking to the torrent.

indeed, however it is the case that Nissan allow PDFS of their service manuals to be distributed FOC by agreement and the links I mention claim to have that agreement

Again in Europe there is a provision that copyright does not apply to " non commercial private research "

I would suggest pouring over a Leaf PDF as a owner is exactly that !!:D

Sure... linking to a site in good faith that they have permission to post the content should be fine.

BTW, the "non commercial private research" exemption applies primarily to students and researchers (and largely for quotation or inclusion in a dataset or the like) and can be construed as requiring original research to be conducted and published..... it's not the same thing as "non commercial private and personal use" exemption that can cover importation of copyrighted content without the copyright holders permission.

Similarly the "educational purposes" exemption is for schools not individuals.

Owners of the vehicle and third parties have a legal right to the material itself... just not to distribute.

no wish to have a long discourse , excemption ( l) article 5 provides sufficient grounds for what we need to do here


(l) use in connection with the demonstration or repair of equipment;
