How funny... By very same talking you can bring a gun to a social meeting 
and 10 minutes later yell "Huh?! WTF did this come from?!". Anyway my 2c - I 
myself use the unix.org.ua archives quite a bit, which does not prevent me 
from owning hard prints of the Cookbook, the Pocket Ref and recently Object 
Oriented Perl. It however prevents from owning 2 pcs of each of those 
not-so-slim books so I could equally easy refer to this or that at work and 
at home. Michael made a solid point - he found it via google. If you want to 
be such a purist - why not contact google for indexing obviously stolen 
content? Or why not go further and sue the guy who invented OCR (I believe 
he is still alive and in good health). Throw in a lawsuit against 
Frauenhofer Institute along the way. 
Excuse my harsh tone but the entire thread sounds too DMCA-ish, in other 
words: We will place content all over the place in the most easily 
accessible form and we will make sure we rip you off for each and every 
instance of it (maybe repeatedly after Fritz takes off). And "Don't you dare 
to complain!" since we will be waiting for you at the nearest courthouse.

P.S. Probably this is not much perl related... I apologise for me stirring 
up this thread.
