As long he is keeping the names of authors on the paper, I do not believe
it's a big crime.

Hi Rachel and list,
The person responsible for that site is Marin Dimitrov
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]].
Almost all the papers there are illegal copies (including one of mine). I
once
asked Marin to explain himself on the matter. His explanation was that the
collection was for his personal use only. At the time, he removed the index
to
make the collection largely invisible to the rest of the net, but it appears
to
have come back! It can also be seen at http://harbinger.sirma.bg/Oracle/ and
an
older version is mirrored at
http://www.itsystems.lv/gints/files/oracle/oracle.htm.
I have copied Marin (and the person responsible for the mirror site) on this
mail. Hopefully they will at least remove the indexes again, but I would
prefer
the papers to disappear too. Maybe if others add their votes to Rachel's and
mine they'll take the stuff down. Bulgaria and Latvia may be immune to
international copyright law, but individuals are seldom immune to community
disapprobation.

I hate to be a spoilsport -- but this link (actually the fact that the paper
is on his site) bothers me...
"DBA101: A Refresher Course"
http://pillango.sirma.bg/oracle/N092_dba.doc
Neither Marlene nor I gave permission for this paper (which is copyrighted)
to be posted there. Of course, he is not in the US, so the fact that this is
illegal doesn't count.
For what it's worth: it is only legal in the US to post a link to a legal
copy of this sort of information. It is NOT legal to post copyrighted
information without the express permission of the copyright holder.
Having said that, I would have gladly sent a copy of the paper to anyone who
asked or given permission to post it. But I would prefer to be ASKED.
And Mark -- www.oracle-users.com now points you to the NY user group web
page, as the company (Oracle User Resources) that sponsored it and the ECO
conference, does not exist anymore.
