http://www.amazon.com/Morrowind-Scripting-Dummies-9-0-Sanderson/dp/1478381531/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1362001468&sr=8-1&keywords=morrowind+scripting

I know Amazon scraqes the web for free .pdfs it can sell as quick-print books, but this seems a little much. And who is Sam Sanderson the listed author?

Wow - and it states on the top of each page that it is copyrighted material - yet still includes the foreward by Yacoby and Melian whose names are still there

I wonder if they have copyrighted the guide - does that mean the original free to use version shouldn't be distributed or quoted from?

Truly weird

Hmm, seems odd. This might be illegal. Depends on who exactly GhanBuriGhan is and whether they like the guide being sold.

I think they doesn't need to, because all stuff that's related to Morrowind is owned by Bethesda and therefore they have copyright of everything that's created by the community IIRC.

There is one thing I wonder... Do they have Bethesda's permission to use their copyrighted material for commercial purposes or not.
