New run of Guru Book cancelled due to pirate copy in circulation

Good work, guys! :roll:

Only in the Amiga community can one or two fools unleash the hornets' nest that spoils things for everyone.

The fact that more than 50 people are now downloading the pirated copy is doubly shameful.

This kind of crap keeps happening. How many more sunken projects will it take before people learn?

What I'd like to know is how did they get to scan the entire 736 pages at 300dpi into PDF format without anybody smelling a rat?

All it takes is one schmuck with a copy of the first edition, a scanner, way too much time on his hands, and bad ethics.

@ Hans_

I already emailed Andreas affirming my commitment to make a purchase, but apparently it was Ralph Babel's decision to suspend the project. I'll probably email him as well to see if there's anything that can be done.
