The information at that website is great! What a great RIPful way for
Syngress to advertise. As you said in your previous post, it is not
obsolete info but it is geared for the 640-407. Who knows what his next
publications will be, but perhaps people will tend to purchase based on how
well the info is presented at that website. So, who told anybody that the
publisher did not give his permission to publish the information on the web.
Did he do it himself?

Subject: RE: Very good web site for CCNA
To paraphrase Stephen King, think of it this way:
You can't walk into a bookstore and say, "Hey, I bought a copy of 'CCNA
Study Guide' yesterday so now I'm taking 10,000 more copies to give to my
friends." Right?
So you can't publish on the Internet the copy that you bought either.
A library is not a good analogy. A library buys one or two copies and
serially lends it to one person after another. That's pretty different than
giving it to thousands of people all at once. A library has special rights
under the copyright law, but they don't extend to providing the material to
numerous people that would have otherwise bought the book (perhaps).
The publishing industry definitely needs to think of new ways of creatively
making money on the Internet. But let's hope people don't stymie those
efforts by giving away material that is not theirs to give.
OK, let's get back to Cisco questions now.
