[Javascript] DOM book

[Lee Underwood]

Troy,

The link was for a download of the entire book, including several bonus 
chapters, which is illegal, no matter what the reasons. The way to check 
out the book is to go look at it in a book store. To share the download is 
illegal, and it puts an undue legal burden on the owners of this list. It's 
just like file sharing with music. It doesn't matter that the intention was 
for someone to review the book. It's illegal, plain and simple.

To quote from the End-User License Agreement, "You may make only one copy 
of the Software for backup or archival purposes.... You may not copy or 
reproduce the Software through a LAN or other network system or through any 
computer subscriber system or bulletin-board system."

I don't think any of us wants to get involved in copyright violations.

Lee
