And what you just did is quite unethical. You're ill advising this person to go out there and illegally download a copyright-infringing copy of the book. I guess that under your criteria that is OK, but posting it here would be a little over the top. Or maybe the prospects of getting caught posting the link in a public forum is the deterrent? Not sure, but in any event, people like you, with a distorted moral compass, is exactly what got us under the terrible economic circumstances that we are currently living. I don't know you, but I can tell a lot about your character by just that single post. I just wish admissions committees would scout these forums more often.

The original post is edited now, so we can't see what was suggested, but that sounds a bit harsh. Linking those materials would be inappropriate for this forum, but I would not equate piracy to the ethical dilemmas that face corporate America. Let's play nice and not be too judgmental :)

Not sure that you're getting the big picture here. The Original Poster is someone who's purportedly applying to Business School, and, as such, someone who'll potentially become a senior executive somewhere. The point is that his intentions are to bend the rules and not abide by the spirit of the law. The circumstances are different now, but soon enough, we'll be talking about "massaging numbers" and "spicing up" financial statements. Hopefully, he will not be instructing his CFO to Google "how to cook the books and not get caught for newbies." Ethics are not subjective, relative, or circumstancial. The advice above did not represent an ethical dilema. It was a definite encouragement accompanied by instructions on how to break the law. I seriously hope to put this issue to bed, but it was clearly wrong.
