More About the Author

I'm now writing a free e-mail newsletter called The Useful Geek (website above).

I'm updating my iPod book to cover the latest features, the latest iPods... and the iPhone when it arrives

I'm also writing a book called Do-It-Yourself PC Upgrade Projects, which shows you 24 ways to get more out of your computer -- without buying a new computer. (Or not yet...)

Happy reading -- and computing!

This review is from: Internet Piracy Exposed (Paperback)

Guy Hart-Davis gives the reader a full picture of the Internet and its underbelly. Although it can be a "how-to" book for violating intellectual property, it is nevertheless informative. Software and music download sites are thoroughly covered, but the information, naturally, quickly becomes out-of-date.
