John,
I hope you’re not suggesting that access to his forms as a member of local REI clubs automatically entitle the viewer to copyright material.
Paris should ask the club if it’s legal to make copies. Do all members have the right use freely?
The best and most ethical way to obtain copyright material is to make a purchase.
Like yourself, I am hesitant to sharing specific details and sample forms from courses and authors because it is wrong to forward, copy, or share something that probably took the authors months or years to develop.
One simple sentence, form, or idea from another can make the difference between making it or breaking it.
It’s one thing to share ideas, experiences and personal knowledge, it’s a total different ball game when divulging properties that belong to another.
LEGAL access to Zick’s forms. - Posted by John Merchant

Chances are good that your local REI group has Zick’s books & tapes, which any member is welcome to use, so that’s your best bet to obtain access to his forms LEGALLY.
Anything less or otherwise is illegal copyright infringement, and although done a lot, I know it’s NOT something you want to be involved with.
Like all authors, Barney is entitled to be paid for his published work & “smarts” which he sure has in abundance.
