Yes.

With these provisos:

I contacted every possible person I could at the publisher, and was rebuffed.
I contacted the author, or tried to, and was a second time rebuffed or unanswered.

Another member posited that there is a certain illegality in charging people for the same content over and over again (e.g. LP, 8-Track, Cassette, CD, mp3) and whether we as consumers are fools to have done so.

Sadly, I can see that this could easily devolve into a useless debate about copyright, Digital Rights Management Software, and the alleged evils of Corporate culture.

LoboLover:

The truly odd thing about your post is that you move so quickly from searching for a physical copy to it jumping to a digital one. However, if a text is that important to you, go ahead and download it, then pledge $100 to the fascists at RIAA to quiet your conscience. ;-
