  I can understand why people are getting angry at the Internet Archive if they are offering one click downloads of books you can still buy on the (independent) artists website: https://cityofdarkness.co.uk/order-book/ https://cityofdarkness.co.uk/order-book/ Saying that as a donor to the Internet Archive as I support their "public web archiving" goal. This misleading "opensource" collection is full of software, books that are neither open source nor out of copyright: https://archive.org/details/opensource https://archive.org/details/opensource and their reporting tool doesn't even include "copyright infringement" as a reason.

  Sorry, just to repeat, Kowloon != Kowloon Walled City. Kowloon itself is home to 2 million people and is a much larger geographical area. Walled City was strictly an enclave area around an old Chinese fort within Kowloon proper. A comparison might be referring to Washington Square Park, Manhattan, New York City as simply "Manhattan". 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kowloon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kowloon 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kowloon_Walled_City https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kowloon_Walled_City
