If its not ethical then why this book is available freely on net. I am not the person who bought this book someone uploaded it and i have downloaded it. If you feel that this is wrong then delete it .I am sorry if i heart any1.

Oh .. reported.

Great analogy, don, thanks!  I was thinking of posting one, myself, but was trying to decide among a few I had on my mind.  You've always got good ones.  And I fully agree with not deleting, but rather, leaving it, as a reminder of why we think and react as we do.  Thanks!

You see, studs, my family is made up, very heavily, of musicians and composers.  (Don't ask me how I wound up the odd man out...)  My father is a minister, and also owns a recording studio, so when I see printed works, recorded works or others, and I see folks promote or distribute 'free' copies, that aren't really free, but are being distributed without permission, I take into consideration how my family members would feel and react, understanding that it's a potential loss of compensation for something they put a lot of time into.  don's analogy looks at it from a slightly different perspective, but in reality, it's still the same ethics, being looked at from different angles.

So studs, again, we're not passing judgment on you.  Rather, my original reply was to make you think, and to let you know it's frowned upon.  My original question, "Tell me again, studs, how this is 'ethical'?" was just that, a question, to make you think about it.  Your actions are your own, and as don said, you need to decide what you feel is right.

Please kindly share the link. I can think of many that I deleted but one I kept up, because it seemed as though the links pointed to things that did not violate any laws. At least that appeared to be the case in the lengthy discussion in that thread. I could be wrong.

Don

wow, Tom...  can I quote that one (the karma one) or did you borrow it already?    

Oh, and studs...  when you (assumably) buy a copy of the book, it is an excellent read!  It's sitting on my shelf, next to me, right now.

Cheers all!

<grin>  nice!
