The sense around here is that gdfellows doesn't want to run the risk, our opinions and experiences notwithstanding. What's already here is very valuable as it is and it would be a shame if it would get shut down for whatever reason.

What Amazon does is Amazon's business. 
 
This sense of caution is also probably related to why this site doesn't function as a P2P network, even though the topic has come up many times before. Every time the topic was mentioned, gdfellows either ignored the request or tersely decided against setting up the courses here as part of a P2P network (advantages in bandwidth usage notwithstanding).
 
Anyway, it is gdfellows' decision to host the DLI stuff, and smoen who started this thread did write that he'd run it by gdfellows anyway to get his opinion.

While I agree that it should be no problem posting some of the DLI materials on this site, it's not my site. I respect the fact that it is gdfellows site, and he is the one who would/could suffer any legal consequences if there were to be a problem, which is why I contacted gdfellows regarding this course. I haven't heard back in the last couple of days, but I'm pretty sure, barring something unforseen, that he will choose not to post this material.

I agree with chung that we should be grateful for what is here, and not run the risk of losing it all.

For the record, I have no interest in a P2P network or sharing scheme of any kind.  We have enough FSI material available to keep us busy for a long time.  I will NOT take any risks here posting material that has a questionable copyright status.
 
End of discussion, and end of this topic.
