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).
