" It states clearly that reproducing the book is prohibited. Is it kosher to be doing this?"
I was going to post the same last thing last night, but the killjoy lindagaf beat me to it :-). You’re posting a lot of stuff free, I can see posting a couple of things as a teaser, but you’ve posted like pages of posts.
“In much of the world “Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, & MIT” and “HYPSM” are also well known, highly valued, & respected.”
So just for kicks I googled “most respected colleges” which I think are very reasonable search terms that a layperson would use and got the World rankings by THE. This would send the layperson into a frenzy:
After HMS, Oxford, Cambridge, sitting at 6 is Berkeley (ahead of YP) and at 9 UCLA!?!?!?!?? Now if you’re talking national, sure the US News has the standard hypsm well ahead of public flagships. But if you go outside the country, much of the world in your words, UCB, Michigan, UCLA would be considered more prestigious than most of the ivies.
