Search for LaHara on it or just browse trying to find it there. Nothing. What is that all about? What does it signify? Probably that they rate p2p hunting higher than keeping up their website. Or..... they think it's bad publicity.
Believe me, downloading books is not uncommon. It is very easy to download an average size library worth of books from O'Reilly, MSpress and what have you.
So far I've only downloaded free material (buddhist stuffand philosophical essays mainly - yes, I'm one of those, that's om mani padme hum for you:) ). Yet the amount of copyrighted material is staggering.
Especially computer book publishers loose money on this, for nerds and geeks (hello, that's me, too) have less of a problem reading off a monitor or print it (on a company printer - totally free).
So, to wake a sleeping dog that has a much harder time making money, where is the book publishing industry. Why don't they have a problem. Quantity of losses, less money for laywers, common sense. Fsck if I know.
