Why is there no downvote option for links, only for comments? Some stuff legitimately needs burial.

@Forcicle- are you confusing this site with a warez site? the all caps title is lame too. If Jessica released it as a free PDF it would be another matter altogether. Have some respect dude.

Perhaps a button to mark a story as inappropriate? Like this one... pointing to a torrent for a book is a bit slimy.

Needless to say this won't help his startup's chances at YC.

Heh... mine too, along with a bunch of other recommended ones.

There's something kind of frustrating shelling out a bunch of money to read about people who already have a bunch of it, written by someone who has a bunch of it... sigh. Hope it's worth it.

(BTW, I expect other people to respect the licenses on the things I create, so I certainly wouldn't violate others' licenses, but still, sometimes it's a frustrating feeling).

Respecting licenses is all well and good, but I was never completely clear on why the full text of the book was not published on the web to begin with, since it seems clear that the bulk of the authors' revenue is probably coming from YC, and anyway the publisher frequently keeps most of the revenue from book sales.

You're welcome. (to the 21st century)
