I was looking for a book on Amazon, a coding book, and had a look at 3 options using the "look now" function.

I noticed that two of the books coding examples are exactly the same. Different books/authors/publishers etc. But the books are almost identical in structure, but it's the code examples that are exact.

One book has been around for a lot longer than the other.........so, would you maybe pop an email to the writer?

Seeing that 99% of coding is copied and pasted from someone else I can't see it as a huge problem.

If you see a white rabbit, follow it. You'll then be given a choice, red pill or blue pill.

They're probably both copied from Stack Overflow.

Copied and pasted, but with a slight modification that makes it my intellectual property.

Copied and pasted but, as this seems to be symptomatic of the modern age, it is with an exemption for satire.
