As an author of a .NET book, ("Network Programming in .NET"), I was horrified to see people randomly exchanging links to download entire copies of ebooks online. It's a pity that some people don't realize the amount of effort that goes into writing these books, and that this effort shouldn't be acknowledged by being honest enough to buy a copy if you need one.

Please, if you need a c# book for work, ask your boss or manager to buy it for you. They will be happy to pay for it, since it will be tax-deductable, and even billable to an end-customer, and also, it will make you feel better that you're not ripping somebody off.
