Did peter Van Der Linden decide to make his book public domain, or are
you aiding and abetting a thief?

Are you always such an anal idiot?

I googled up a link to the PDF. Anything else is assumptive. But since
you are so concerned, maybe you could collect a list of all the places
it is hosted and inform the authorities : I certainly dont have the
time nor the inclination to check the copyright issues of every
document I reference via the wonderful world of web.

So you're aiding and abetting a thief because you didn't take the time
to investigate the origin of the document

Perhaps you weren't familiar with the book, and actually thought it
might be a legitimate public domain document. However, your question
above, "Are you always such an anal idiot?", leads me to suspect that
you just don't care.

I happen to own a copy of the book (on paper; I paid for it). I also
just downloaded a copy of the PDF file. It appears to be a copy of
the book, including the cover, but *not* including the title page or
any copyright notices.

If it were legitimate, it would presumably have a notice to that
effect. Since it doesn't, it seems likely that it was stolen. I've
just informed the publisher, Prentice Hall, of the existence of this
copy of the book. (No, I didn't mention you or the original poster,
just the site that's hosting the PDF file.)
