So you are explicitly stating that MR does not allow the distribution of LEGAL and creator/copyright-holder endorsed books? In such a case MR has decided to censor the access. Yes?
Edit: Ahhhh, OK I think I see it now Harry. Basically MR says it's OK to link to the site but not OK to link to a direct download. Is that correct? If so has this also been applied to authors who post here? They also must link to pages rather than direct downloads? I can see where that would be a sensible way to handle a potentially bad situation. But I want to add that your initial comment on this matter was rather sparse on details. After that your comments were sorta terse and it took you several posts to elaborate on what was OK.
Yeah people could read but your comment could actually scare people away from even posting, heck mentioning, a site. I just figure there are more eyes looking than participating in the discussion and it's those eyes MR probably would love to be able convince to participate on MR. If I missed your point I am sure you will elaborate on the issue.
