It's borderline unethical to list the slide content of Bjarne
Stroustrups's book in your blog without either mentioning that they're
his or that they're connected with the book. http://www.stroustrup.com/Programming/

No man, don't worry, you can find the reference to Bjarne Stroustrup
on the first slide, simply because they are his:

http://www.stroustrup.com/Programming/lecture-slides.html

They are simply linked to the original slides of the original site.

Yes, man. It's just plain wrong for a blog with Google ads displayed
to reference copyrighted materials prepared by another person with no
mention of that person on the site. Relying on a user to figure out
that links are merely shortcircuits to someone else's intellectual
property is bogus. If I were Bjarne, I'd be asking my publisher's
lawyers to go after an appropriate share of the Google ad income -
approximately 100%.

lolwut?

that links are merely shortcircuits to someone else's intellectual
property is bogus.

If a user doesn't know that links can go to other sites, I think the
user has just failed the "reasonable man" tests usually used in cases
like this.

I guess I'm not seeing the issue. If I post a link to something, I
assume users will notice that the link goes somewhere.

I don't think you'd post a list of 26 polished Powerpoint
presentations labeled ChXX without even mentioning that the referenced
chapters are from a book written by another person. I agree that if
the page merely said "by Stroustrop under the heading," the water
would be covered. It's borderline unethical because it's so easily
fixed.

Take a look at the blog, <http://computerscienceppt.blogspot.com/>.
It's not *just* links to other material. The most recent post,
for example, consists of a list of 26 links to individual PowerPoint
presentations on Bjarne Stroustrup's sitem, each labeled by chapter
number and title, with an overall title "Programming: Principles
and Practice using C++" for the whole thing. Including that much
detail *without* mentioning the name of the actual author of the
presentations is either thoughtless or a deliberate attempt to
withhold proper credit.

I'm not sure I'd call it unethical, but it would be trivial to
properly credit the author, and I can think of no legitimate reason
not to do so.

Ahhh.

Okay, yeah, that's pretty bad.

Nevermind! I retract my previous mild derision.

I have sent an email to stroustrup regarding this thread. Hopefully he
takes some action.
This is a sleazy way to make money.
