Laura, the forum was contacted by the writers... read #34.
"I was contacted by the authors of the book in regards to removing it from the site due to copyright infringement."
Do you understand the work it takes to get a book published and marketed? Do you understand copyright? No one but the copyright owners have the right to give their work away for free. Others, well, they take their chances when the copyright owners find out. And they have. And if Anglefire has a policy of a take down after being contacted (you are a member, you should know), then there you go.
Actually - instead of passing around copyrighted work, why doesn't this forum support the decent HCG books instead? Post reviews from members? I looked briefly down the section list and didn't see a HCG book review section. Is there one inside the others?
The books are certainly sold at a reasonable enough price. After being bored silly with fish and chicken I'd personally kill for a decent P2 recipe but I don't have to, a mere $19.97 plus shipping will do.
And besides, authors get peanuts after everyone else takes their cut - publishers, marketers, amazon - so why not help them out?
