Some of the technical books cannot be found here. If I order them the cost of the shipment will double its value and it will take forever to get here, if it even comes here....
Our mail services are just worthless. They "lose" many packages and if they are not famous for their speed of delivery.

Look at another perspective. The author X creates series of books about some technical matter and writes about it each 2 yeast as that matter evolves. What is wrong to download some old book of the site when that book no longer can be found in the book stores and you obviously can get it in the mail either?
-You get a non paper book so you are a nature friendly
-You educate yourself
-You get an older copy the people who can get the newest copy of his book still generate money for him and I don't think someone will buy and older issue except for those for collection purposes.
And besides that I believe the author will be happy for more people around the world to be able to read his book. Personally If I could I would buy that book, I prefer the paper issue and I would support the author, but sometimes its really hard to find some books. For example the old ones which sometimes are proven better than the new ones.

Alternatively. Author X spends maybe a year of his/her life writing a book. They sacrifice their free time to produce this book. Obviously, they aren't doing it for the love of writing, they are doing it to earn some money from it. Now, if everyone in the world downloads that book without paying for it, then that author gets nothing. But, hey, it's okay to download the book because the author can afford it. Suddenly, because it's alright for one author, then it's alright for all authors. Suddenly, you get no to the point where people stop producing books because no one pays for them anymore.

It's ok, you can get the torrent file for Ubuntu from the alternative downloads[^] section on their website, so you don't need the pirate bay any any more!

I guess, first off, do you even have a blog?
And if so, do you use it for private things, like important notes, etc?
Reason being, it just occurred to me that the notes on how to backup a Postgres database, transfer it to my PC, and restore it locally, are commands I always have to do a "history" on to see how I did it. Figured, I might as well use my blog but keep the post private to retain these little workflow gems.

Why keep the post private?

That is not really private; that is what a blog is.

That's what I use CP for. 
And, remember that every CP member has a blog on their profile page.

Nope. I would never find the time to work on it.

I occasionally upload stuff to my web-site (without linking to it from within the site -- pretty much the same as the "private" thing you mention), if I want to let other people have access to it (e.g. I've done that so that I can post links to pictures here), but never for stuff that's for me personally.
I have been known to use skydrive, google drive, and dropbox for that, though, particularly if I only have a phone or tab with me.

I do have a blog or two - but rarely get around to posting to them (and I lost the entire contents of the one I did use regularly in a fit of stupidity)
For stuff of interest to me, though, I use evernote. worth its weight. I can always copy to a blog if I want to make it public (and copy to it from blog, for that matter) so I treat Evernote as my local scratchpad - and sometimes pretty stuff up and post it

I can't tell you. It is too private.

Well, you can definitely trust the internet as a big chunk of it is already consisting of "private" things..
Your time will come, if you let it be right.
