RE: LOT (Little OT): Interesting Oracle related URL's.

Hi Rachel and list,

The person responsible for that site is Marin Dimitrov [mailto:marin_at_sirma.bg]. Almost all the papers there are illegal copies (including one of mine). I once asked Marin to explain himself on the matter. His explanation was that the collection was for his personal use only. At the time, he removed the index to make the collection largely invisible to the rest of the net, but it appears to have come back! It can also be seen at http://harbinger.sirma.bg/Oracle/ and an older version is mirrored at
http://www.itsystems.lv/gints/files/oracle/oracle.htm.

I have copied Marin (and the person responsible for the mirror site) on this mail. Hopefully they will at least remove the indexes again, but I would prefer the papers to disappear too. Maybe if others add their votes to Rachel's and mine they'll take the stuff down. Bulgaria and Latvia may be immune to international copyright law, but individuals are seldom immune to community disapprobation.

I hate to be a spoilsport -- but this link (actually the fact that the paper is on his site) bothers me...

"DBA101: A Refresher Course"
http://pillango.sirma.bg/oracle/N092_dba.doc

Neither Marlene nor I gave permission for this paper (which is copyrighted) to be posted there. Of course, he is not in the US, so the fact that this is illegal doesn't count.

For what it's worth: it is only legal in the US to post a link to a legal copy of this sort of information. It is NOT legal to post copyrighted information without the express permission of the copyright holder.

Having said that, I would have gladly sent a copy of the paper to anyone who asked or given permission to post it. But I would prefer to be ASKED.

And Mark -- www.oracle-users.com now points you to the NY user group web page, as the company (Oracle User Resources) that sponsored it and the ECO conference, does not exist anymore.
