From MintInBox.Net:

An individual saying to be part of the MintInBox.net team is giving away *ILLEGAL* links to download the book written by Stéphane Faucourt (From Meccano to Trilogo) from a file exchange website.

This is a copyright violation of the work of the author, and this is, of course not allowed by the owner of the copyright (Stéphane Faucourt himself). Moreover, we do NOT endorse such a communication, and NO ONE from MintInBox.net is part of this free download giveaway.

The author was at FACTS last week-end, where the book was sold for the first time ever. So it is certainly possible that the individual was there too.

The individual named as /"FreeWilly"/ is trying to lure people by saying that he/she is a member of the MintInBox.Net website and that this is only a part of the book, and even encourage people to buy the book (thank to him or her!). For your information more than 10% of the book is to be downloaded, which is far more than just an extract for review as mentioned.

This is a prejudice for the author, and for the MintInBox.net team and website. *That individual is NO part of the MintInBox.net team.* And he/she didn't get any agreement from Stéphane Faucourt, the author, and copyright owner (who is also self-published by the way).

George Lucas has announced he's done making blockbuster feature films after Indiana Jones 5. He states that one of the factors that weighted heavy on the decision was the negative comments made by fans. The Probe Droid is curious what you think about that.
We didn't mean it! Please make more movies!
Boo. I don't like that at all. More movies please.
We got six movies that tell the full tale. I'm happy.
Good for you George! You've earned it.
Thank goodness!
I don't see the irony here.
