Scientists are thinking about

Because their audience

wait for the book

download it for free.

So, why would a scientist
waste time writing a book
if their peers are just
going to
get it for free?

I wonder what is going on in the
'scientific community' where half of them
write software, and the other half write
cracks for it?

Is there a civil war among scientist?

Why don't they just bomb each other?
