Yes, these are links to versions of the "Paintball Cookbook" that you see on Ebay and other places. You may be asking... how can I encourage downloading of someone's Paintball Cookbook? If you did buy it (shame on you), it is actually quite a large compilation of plans. The "author" and various distributors even claim "copywrite" (yes, that's how one spelled it). The problem is that not a single page of it outside of the index was written by them. ALL of it is information taken from various web sites including MINE, warpig, BEOG, po man's, pbnation, ponytails and many others. Yes, they're selling other people's intellectual property in a "cookbook" and making money off it. It wouldn't be so bad if they actually gave credit to the original authors or linked to the original content. Instead, every reference to the author and the site it came from has been stripped out. Notice how the main entry page on my site and a lot of the plans explicitly say "do not sell or distribute without permission of the author"?. They always did and these jokers stripped it out and included it in this book. If you compare what's here to the book you can see the blatant disregard for this Maybe it's worth your $5 to $20 for their index and not having to search the internet for the original copy. Somehow I doubt it... Even though it's blatant copyright infringement, taking any sort of action against these leeches is a painful process. As always, I encourage the free sharing of plans and information... especially this "Cookbook". If you actually paid for it, put it up online. Send it to your friends and relatives. Post it on forums. Sell it on ebay for a penny. Don't worry there's no action they can take against you. They stole the content. These jokers CAN NOT copyright information they didn't write and pictures they didn't take. Shame on them for making money off of someone else's work which was intended to be free and published on the net for the good of all. Oh.. this is also why all of my images are now visibly watermarked and the majority of the real plans and content from this site vanished (there were about 50 additional real plans). Here's some links I dug up... You can always google "paintball cookbook" (use the quotes) and might dig up more. Older Version
