It's strange because I just tried it and it seemed to work ok. It's possible this was a temporary problem with the tinyurl site. I'm hoping thats what it is, thanks for stopping by and letting me know! Brian Hi, I appreciate you letting me know. It’s strange because I just tried it and it seemed to work ok.

The feedburner link worked fine. It was the link in the email I received that was the issue. After I confirmed the feedburner subscription, I clicked on the tinyurl link to get the books. The link does not have the "www" part of the required link. When I clicked on it, it wouldn't find the download. So, I put into the browser and retyped the www and it worked. You might want to investigate. I am enjoying your blog and I wish you great success. Just wanted to let you know that when I signed up to get the free books, I had an issue with the link.

It means its under the creative commons license and you can give it away as long as you show attribution and don't sell it. The copyright in the body of the document is older, so it looks like it's now under the creative commons. As long as Scribd shows it under the creative commons, I personally wouldn't hesitate to give it away on my own site. I think it's safe to assume the owner now wants it to be distributed freely. Of course, I am no lawyer, but that is what I would do :) Brian Hi Liz, the person and money symbol is the most common I think.

I have signed up for the site. However, I cannot seem to locate the copyright and pd information. Every book I look up have the person and money with a slash through it symbol. When I click on those, it does not provide additional information. I don't know how to determine what I can give away and what I cannot. For example, this book: http://www.scribd.com/doc/3933994/Managment-The-Performance-Appraisal-Question-and-Answer-Book is listed with those symbols. However, when you look at the book itself, it is copyrighted in 2002. Can you help clarify? Thanks for everything! Hi Brian,
