Re: Links to copyrighted material

You're correct. Linking to content that should not be public is frowned upon here.

One minor nit: in most countries all content is automatically copyrighted. The issue is with the distribution licenses. The CD Bookshelf does not allow for public distribution, so IMO the links should be removed.

On the O'Reilly Contacts page, there is an address provided to report infringements or "[r]eport illegal use of [their] books and materials online".... Just FYI.	[reply]

/me shrugs I'm not the police, and if O'Reilly wants to find online copies of the bookshelf, a quick google search will work well enough (there don't appear to be many, in any case). But if you want to inform them, that's fine with me. "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply]
