I believe copywrited material is not allowed to be linked from the forum,for the above reasons. For some its clear cut for others it may be a grey area,personally if you can buy it then that is the correct way to go....thanks Pierre for the link.

I agree absolutely with this. Even if it's out of print, it's Princelle's intellectual property and if he and his publishers haven't agreed to provide a freely downloadable version then it amounts to stealing from them both. Authors of such works earn precious little money in exchange for the huge amounts of time and effort that goes into them and to be the victim of such a robbery must be both infuriating and dispiriting.

Author royalties are typically between 7.5% and 10% for printed books. Those who have availed themselves of "free" downloads might consider paying the author directly . . . or at least deleting the PDFs.

The "piracy is not theft" discussion is far too long and off topic to be debated here but I've ad different opinion. I believe it's right to check if the book I've found meets my needs. In this particular case I was looking for a "lens review" book, while this is an advanced book for cameras collectors and historians.
Because of this reason I've deleted the PDF Wink
