I read this blog post that said that some of Driscoll's sermons were being taken offline.

Then I checked Logos, and the Mark Driscoll Sermon Archive is gone!

Yup, see the discussion about it here: http://community.logos.com/forums/t/82814.aspx
Ah, thanks for the link.
I searched for the most recent posts about Driscoll, and nothing came up.

Maybe the Logos Forums are like my Logos Library, it takes a long, long time to index! [:P]

The forum search is useless. Use Google, and put site:community.logos.com in your search criteria. Much more flexible and reliable than the forum search function. Here's how I Googled that thread, and it was the first hit:

I bought his sermon Archive in October but never read any of the sermons until 2 weeks ago. I was very upset at the lack of quality and harsh, language. I was surprised Logos even allowed his material in the library and asked for a refund. I then started to google on Mars Hill and found out about the controversies and issues. I then discovered Logos pulled his sermons---interesting.

I am guessing that plagiarism was the main issue.
Welcome to the forums.

I believe this action was requested by Mars Hill/Driscoll,
I ponder the day (for a few seconds) when congregation members can have their iPads scan their pastor's sermon on the fly, for any plagiarism. Uncredited commentaries. Lexicon definitions not properly cited. Jokes repeated too often. Speech phrasings that don't sound like their pastor.
Of course the biggest may well be the quoting of the Bible without attribution (and proper payment of copyright fees of course).
People need to realize that Matthew quoting Mark without crediting him was unadulterated plagiarism (or visa versa). Of course Mark might have plagiarized proto-Mark, in which case Matthew would not need to credit Mark. Granted since none of the gospels have credited authors, citing the respective sources correctly would have been a challenge.
And as you're growning for yet one more bad example of humor, I'll be fondly remembering those little copyright numbers that we sing by accident during worship. Pay for play.
When I go to a new church one of the first things I tell them is "that plagiarism is my middle name"
I would plagiarise Plagar himself if he could put the message over in better words than me!!

I've never read any of Driscoll's sermons, but I did pick up his book Doctrine: What Christians Should Believe as a freebie (vyrso). I started reading the book, but I never got past chapter one:
Deleted because I can't read properly! [:S]
I have the Driscoll sermon archive and find it excellent. Edgy, heartfelt, and biblically incisive for the culture. It has its place. But, I'm curious... If I install Logos on another PC someday, will the Driscoll sermon archive still download?

Once you own a resource, you own it forever. It will download to your new PC unless you sell the license.
I don't know what would happen if a court ordered Logos to cease and desist further distribution.
