As for marketing emails, we always include an "unsubscribe" link. SitePoint will never sell your email address or your information.
Enjoy the freebie!
The email address you enter won't matter. Just put in any valid email address you want and then visit http://sale.sitepoint.com/claimpdf.php?email= with the email address you entered appended to the end.
In that vein, http://sale.sitepoint.com/claimpdf.php?email=foo%40bar.com is now a direct download link :)

As a Sitepoint subscriber for about 5 years now, no they don't.
I don't subscribe, but I've given them my email a handful of times to receive free samples of books. (They're extremely generous with this. In a couple of cases, they sent easily half a book as a free sample.) My experience has been that they're on the low-volume end of the "we have your email" spectrum. Not nothing, but not hideous.
Just make sure you use a throw-away email address... Sitepoint will spam you like crazy. No such thing as a free lunch :-)

I had already purchased this book, but it will still be nice to have a PDF version. Thanks SitePoint!
I gave them my email with a plus sign in it, and I was surprised that the web form accepted it and I got the email. However, clicking on the link they emailed me, which had my email (and therefore the plus sign) in the url, broke their site and just sent me back to TFA. Nice bugs guys.
just kidding. I've very happy Spain won.
Interesting book, I just wish it didn't use the .html() function that much, especially the .html(externalInput) pattern - it's a great way to open XSS (cross-site scripting) vulnerabilities on your page unless you're very careful and the author apparently doesn't warn the reader to be careful.
Could you elaborate on this or point me to a site that explains the security risks? For my product, I have a web app that does 100% of the rendering in Javascript so I use html() a lot. I adhere by the rule that I don't trust anything that comes from the client so I'm curious to learn what the security problem may be. Thanks.
