Hi Joe Pardue , this is alfred a peruvian AVR developer, is a pleasure to contact you, throug this email, and in regard about your book, anyone who loves this field must to pay for it, and this way we encourage researchers to keep digging and supporting in our developments.
By the way where can I get more information about moving message projects.
Appreciate your attention and thanks.

I'd like to thank the folks who emailed me about this attempted
theft. In a way it is a good thing because I wasn't aware of this
forum so I just joined and will be looking around. I usually hang out
at AVRFreaks so it may take a bit to get used to the format and
structure.
Also another good thing, apparently this resulted in one sale of the
hardcopy, so thanks for that.
I'm reluctant to say this but I have given the pdf file away a bunch
of times to folks in countries that are impossible to do business
with due to monetary exchange concerns. I also track sales vs
downloads and I am aware that piracy occurs, but I'm also not all
that naive and know that this is simply a part of doing business.
I've even sent it to students who asked. The reason I'm reluctant to
mention this is that I usually ask for a bio and justification and I
really don't have time to sort thru the real need and those who are
feel to sense of entitlement and no need to compensate me for my
work. The book isn't perfect and there are problems, but even so it
can and has helped a bunch of folks get started with the AVR
Butterfly and in my opinion is well worth the price.
I'm guessing that if this fellow had been honest enough to approach
me that I would have sent him the pdf file. He's probably from one of
those difficult countries and likely doesn't have a western income so
I would have been happy to help him out.
So thanks to those who informed me of the problem. I've noticed that
there is a community around the AVR unlike any of the other micros
I've worked with and it just feels nice to know that the neighbors
are watching each other's back.
