Pearson's Anti-Piracy Vendor Takes Down Best-Selling Author's Own GitHub Repo

(As I've had posts removed from this community before for not being oniony and so am not sure what the standards are: I think this is oniony because I find it highly ironic that a company would ever make an effort to delete code examples that supplement their own work, and think it could reasonably be part of a satirical headline satirizing copyright enforcement. If mods disagree that this is oniony enough, that's fine with me too.)

Love Pearson.

Love not being able to take the Linux+ test on a Linux machine. >.>

Pearson has never been a defender of author’s rights, just Publisher’s rights. As such, I don’t find this surprising.

Y'all good here. This one really does read like satire.

Might be more boringdystopia material.
