"Security Engineering" Is Now Online

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the security-just-got-cheaper dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Ross Anderson, author of 'Security Engineering', notifies in a message to comp.risks that he just got permission from Wiley to let anyone download the full content of his book for free. This is one of the best books on computer security and it is used as textbook in many University courses (I teach two of them)."

    google 'free books' or 'free books science' for a plethora of sites publishing or linking to books for which the copyrights have expired or been released.

    Dunno about Wiley, but my wife publishes popular fiction and her contacts give the rights to the publisher even though the work is copyrighted to her. There is a clause in the contract, however, something to the effect that 6 years after the publication date, she can petition to get the rights transfferred to her. But that might be particular to her publisher

    IOW, even though she is the copyright holder, she can't redistribute the content in any form per the contract.
