When I find sites like that, I send the URL to O'Reilly. It's not that I am such a big fan of Intellectual Property in general but in this case, O'Reilly is a smallish pubisher who supports Open Source and the authors whose pockets they put money into. In some cases, the money from the books and Safari may be the only payment the authors ever recieve for years of open source development. Disclaimer: that last sentence applies to me, so maybe I'm prejudiced :-). If you're so inclined, you might want to remove the links in your posting, but that's up to you.
update:Thanks, bioGeek, but I for one don't regard what *you* were doing negatively, you were just trying to be helpful.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
