There was a deal done that ECA would use it's offices to sell copies of SANS at the same price that SANS would sell it to you .On top of each page is printed in red ( must be important ) This standard is exclusively for ECA.
What does that mean ?
If you buy that book at some or other strange outlet and a lower price then it is more than likely stolen - If you buy it at a higher price then rather go to ECA and purchase
Think it is purely a protection measure
You can't photocopy the book and sell on the street corner or start distributing amongst your mates - The electronic copies have your name and licence number all over them as well as the no copying or network storage .On the bottom of each page, also in red, it says .. Photocopying or reproducing this standard constitutes a violation of SABS Copyright Rules.
Does that mean that copying and pasting sections for discussion here on this forum is not permitted ?
In a company with multiple users you cannot stick it on the server and let everyone access it - you would need to buy a number of licenses , likewise hard copy you would need to buy a couple
I would not think it would stop us from pasting odd clauses here and there to explain something but would be different if I suddenly copy and pasted the whole book in one post
