Hi Salem,

Because we prefer the transparency and accountability implied by an open forum, we do not edit/delete forum entries like yours (as policy, only the author can edit/delete/append). This is an unmoderated forum. But please be advised we do not condone copyright infringement. First, there are laws (see copyright and international treaties). Before you embark on an investment of time/money into the FRM, suggest you look into whether you first act is illegal.

Second, copyright infringement is an blatant violation of GARP's new code of conduct. It may be hard to understand for those with careless disregard, but some of us FRM holders, do actually want to uphold an ethical standard (quite aside from our selfish business interests). The symbolism of the designation, in part, is a reflection of the collective behavior of its members. In other words, what exactly does the designation mean to you if you will break laws to get it? Maybe you think a little bit of copyright infringement here or there is just small potatoes, no harm, no foul? If so, I'll forgive your innocence, maybe we chalk it up to youthful ignorance... look under the hood of big disasters (e.g., subprime crisis) and you always find otherwise well-meaning folks who cut corners because it's only small potatoes and, seemingly, "nobody gets hurt." It only and always starts with small potatoes. Ethics is about small potatoes.

Third, please note bionicturtle has a strict intolerance policy in regard to any copyright infringement, including we are equally intolerant of infringement of competitors' products. We routinly and immediately report evidence of copyright infringement to the interested publisher (e.g., GARP, book publishers, Kaplan, our competitors etc). This includes solicitations sent to our attention, that are posted on P2P platforms or other forums (e.g., www.pagalguy.com is headed for serious issues, they are willingly and knowingly supporting wholesale copyright infringement). When you infringe or solicit infringement, you are not doing the host (e.g., forum) any favors. Yes, that's correct, jurisdiction depending, when you post to solicit copyright infringement, you may actually be putting the forum's owner in legal jeopardy. Not quite behavior befitting an FRM-no?

Fourth, as a legal matter, please note the following: this forum does not support, encourage or otherwise tolerate copyright infringement. Any evidence of a copyright infringement activity (e.g., a response to this posts that indicates copyright infringement) will be reported to the appropriate publishers, at the very least. Although we do not moderate, we are senstive to the responsibilities that attach to any forum owner.

In summary, some authors bust their hump to make useful stuff for you. If you don't want to use it, that's fine, you have free will. But if you want to use it, cut the crap and pay for it!

Hi David..

I entirely agree and fully support you in the issue. With the web present everywhere is doing havoc in this regard. It is duty bound on us the professionals to uphold highest standards and refrain from such acts.(Dont even think of it). I think this course presupposes candidates to have resoableness in investment and as a matter of fact course providers like you are providing excellent materials within legal framework.

Folks, please cooperate.

Regards

Venkat

Good response, David. Would have been disappointed if you had been less resolute in stressing how imperative sound ethical practice is to an FRM exam candidate.
