I'm pretty sure the idea behind publishing this free book was gathering leads and potential customer-data for future marketing.

You know, if it's free, you're the product and all that yadda yadda.

By posting the direct DL link here, you are discouraging similar free offers in the future. If I were you and I appreciated free offers, I would consider editing my post.

Then they should sent the pdf not give a link to it, for me it says "share it".

I have given O'Reilly my email before, but the content is absolute crap. They are spamming me even though I have cancel the subscription 3 times, hence direct link may bring them more marketing value than bunch of spam-only emails with fake names and phones numbers.

Unlikely to garner much favour declaring 'Free Ebook from O’Reilly and NGINX' and giving away only 3 chapters...

Note that the full copy is now available to purchase in both ebook and hardcopy: http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920033158.do (No side-interest here, just found it confusing that the page mentioned "hardcopy expected to be published in May")

Indeed, my copy just arrived.
