more is this right

All of the first edition of Information Architecture for the World Wide Web seems to be online on some guys site.
A side note: don't judge the polar bear on this edition (which is darn good, don't get me wrong) It's just that the second edition blows the doors off the first.

Well this is probably a matter of not being able to set up your server right.
This Mexican university has an employee called Max (http://www.upn.mx/~max). He bought (?) the cd-bookshelf, and put it in
http://www.upn.mx/~max/obooks/webd
Probably so that his students don't have to buy the books.
Now if you try to access http://www.upn.mx/~max/obooks/ your'e not allowed.
But the subdirs let you in!
And if You try http://www.upn.mx/~max/obooks.html
you'll be presented with a whole bunch of books!

Well - someone among the copyright holders should be made aware, and someone should take action of some kind.
Just my opinion

yes, this guy needs to put some protection in that directory if it's for him alone. otherwise it leaves the content open to illegal copying, no?
