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

[madsjm]

I have never written a single line of Amiga code, but I was actually planning to buy this, just to have it.
Now that all this happened, I would definitely buy a copy to support the initiative.
I guess signing this doesn't help, but here goes nothing.

Damn, waited a long time for this, already mentioned it numerous times.

I agree with most people here. Want to pay for the real thing, even though I can get the pdf for free.

Its the Amiga so why bother.

If they do not print this book, then they should release the revised version as a torrent and I will get lulu.com to print me one copy for 19.95.

I asked "Any chance of doing a pre-pay, and if enough orders come in then print the book?"

but the response was "i think no"

i write today a email to ralph and ask him again that he allow that we print the book. when he say no is the project for me closed. dont make really fun when i look why he dont would like reprint the book....

I don't think that anyone is making fun of the decision or the reasons why. People disagree both with the decision and the reason why, and really hope that you and Ralph will change your mind.

Expecting that amongst all present and past Amiga users, no-one is going to be a pirate is simply unrealistic. Yes, it hurts to see your own copyrighted material being distributed, but as all of the threads on all Amiga forum sites shows, those few really don't matter.

Don't forget that not all people with a copy of the old book  are current Amiga users, so the guy that put the torrent online may not even have a working Amiga.

A whole bunch of us, me included, are respectfully asking you and Ralph to reconsider publishing the updated Guru book in English.
