I just got off the phone with Patrick Murphy, legal counsul for Wiley (they produce the "For Dummies" book series), and he said that this is just another of the eDonkey, Kazaa p2p front-ends that is used to redistribute copyrighted works illegally.

He said they send out cease & decist orders "almost daily" on sites like these all the time and when they shut one down, another 5 pop up in its place.

Its terrible that our industry has gotten to this point, it really is...
