For what it's worth, I opened the first chapter of the 12c rewrite of my 
beginner's book on database administration (to be published in Q1) with the 
following text:
"Thank you very much for buying this book (or for getting a legal copy). 
Database administrators have access to valuable and confidential data belonging 
to their organizations and therefore must possess high ethical standards. 
(Consider this your first lesson in Oracle Database administration.) Besides, 
royalties paid to textbook authors typically constitute no more than minimum 
wage for the long hours they spend in writing, so the least we can do to 
respect their effort is to buy their books or get legal copies."

What Dimitr says is correct. The it-ebooks.info site is a pirate site. 
Springer, and I'm sure other publishers too, are working to combat that site. I 
can say that much, but cannot say more than that.
Let me put in a good word for Darl Kuhn's books. He's a clear and careful 
writer who deserves to be better known than he is. His recipe book is 
well-regarded, and he has some good content on backup and recovery in his Pro 
DBA book. 
Freeman is also excellent. I think highly of Robert. He is also a very clear 
writer, and Oracle Press is lucky to have him.
If you buy Darl's recipe book, be sure to grab the 12c edition, which is the 
newer one in the IOUG Press cover design. One might as well grab the latest.

You could have a look at http://it-ebooks.info/book




I believe those are illegal pirated copies ....
