IDL PDF Book No Longer Available [message #60050]

Folks,

Odd that we were talking about stealing books yesterday.

This morning I learned that a French bookseller has
purchased a single copy of my PDF book and is selling it
on their web site (for about three times my price).

I am afraid I have had to discontinue selling the PDF
version of the book until I figure out what to do about
this. Selling an electronic copy of the book was an
experiment that involved a great deal of financial
exposure on my part. I was worried something like this
might happen. (Although, frankly, I didn't expect it
from a bookseller. Blame it on naivety, I guess.)

Stealing people's intellectual property turns out to
have bad karma for everyone.

Cheers,

David
