Isn't this like pirating music? It says its only for California students, faculty and people like that?

Just wondering.

Excellent! I read this one offline a while back. As far as I can see, it's all available to the public.

No, this is like pirating music. Look, don't touch.

It may be available to the public right now, but the line that says, "for U of C students, faculty, etc." is why I mention that.

About the UC Press eScholarship Editions

The University of California Press eScholarship Editions are made available through a California Digital Library purchase from netLibrary of 1,500 electronic book files on behalf of the UC community. eScholarship, which supports experiments in the production and dissemination of scholarly communications, converted the books into fully searchable XML.

Nearly 400 of the titles, many of which are out of print, will be available to the public; the rest are for University of California faculty, staff, and students only. Titles are being released in stages. Five hundred titles, including over 300 public titles, were released October 28, 2002. For more information, please see the press release (in Adobe Acrobat format). By Fall 2003 there will be 1,500 books available online.

These titles represent about one-third of the UC Press books in print and cover a range of topics in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences. The URL for each available title appears in the UC union catalog, Melvyl®, along with the rest of the cataloging information for that book.

The UC Press eScholarship Editions represent another element of the continuing partnership between the University of California Press and the California Digital Library's eScholarship program.

Read with a clear conscience.

I feel liberated!

Although the ancient history will be invaluable, the 1978 edition of Plant Molecular Biology is woefully out of date. This isn't piracy, its recycling. It is a gift.
