The book is not listed at http://www.oreilly.com/openbook/ http://www.oreilly.com/openbook/
Also the PDF has a link to a notorious ebook pirate platform on every page. If you really believe content on college pages is legal, you must be very naive. I've never seen a naive webmaster that uses domain privacy though.
- LearnDataSci 11y agoThanks for that link, I actually didn't know O'Reilly had such a page. I'm not very familiar with ebook pirating platforms. So the link didn't seem suspicious to me. Anyway, the book was removed. Thanks again for pointing it out.
- coroxout 11y agoPersonally I wasn't surprised to see (possibly) pirated content on an .edu site with a ~username URL, as the ~ suggested a student's page, where unauthorised content might pop up to share with classmates and stay up undetected by the college. What surprised me is that the owner of the Canisius page appears to be teaching staff rather than a student. The other books hosted there seem to be legitimately freely available, however, so I'm guessing that was also a naive mistake.
