Fight Begins To Secure Turing Papers For Bletchley Park Museum
Blacklaw writes "Auction house Christie's is planning to sell offprints of Alan Turing's early work for an estimated £500,000 — and the fight has begun to raise the money so UK codebreaking museum and charity Bletchley Park can house the documents in the building where Turing performed his war-winning work and birthed the concept of a modern 'universal computer.' If the money isn't raised, the papers could disappear into a private archive, never to be seen again."
A copy? That would be piracy and that would mean a fine much larger fine then anybody can pay. And making copies would take away the initiative for Mr. Turing to write any new papers. So please don't do that.
Don't fight for your country, if your country does not fight for you.
This belongs in a MUSEUM. </Indiana_jones>

How do we know this is really Turing's work and not, say, an imitation by an advanced AI?
Don't be silly. It would take away the incentive for Mr Turing's estate to write any new papers.
