A matter (now solved, the file has been removed) that hit us yesterday, june 11th 2012.

Attributor, Inc.*** INFRINGING PAGE OR MATERIAL ***
Infringing page/material that I demand be disabled or removed in consideration of the above:
Rights Holder: ICAO
Original Work: Personnel Licensing 11th Edition
Infringing URL: https://cockpitseeker.com/wp-content/uploads/atpl/010/course/ICAO annexes & amendments (official)/ANEXO 01 – PERSONNEL LICENSING.pdf
It appears this file was up for grab for a 91 dollars fee, as visible in the ICAO 2012 catalogue.
This file was interesting as it contained information required for the good completion of the “air law” ATPL module, a part of the theoretical pilot exam. We had it published in our ATPL/Theoretical/010 page.
CockpitSeeker deplores that general aviation knowledge should be made paying, forcing everyone to submit to the money toll to get the information to, 1.succeed to pilots’ exams & 2.maintain one’s knowledge up to date to perform flights in all safety.
