I'm the author of a technology book on Microsoft Dynamics GP. Despite the relatively obscure nature of the book, it's been stolen and made available for download as well. Sending DMCA notices at least seems to have chased the theives behind signup and pay walls where hopefully downloaders will get what they deserve.

Many of the arguments you debunk are even harder to sustain with my book. The book is expensive, yes. The software it support is so much more expensive that adding a book to the mix is a rounding error. Dynamics GP is targeted at English and Spanish speaking countries primarily. No need for Ukrainian site. 

Even worse, all of the material in the book originated from article on my blog. If you really don't have any money, do a little work with Google and you can still get answers you need. 

Okay, I'm done ranting. Thanks for bringing this up.
