Y14.5-2009 pdf file $49, is this legit?

[Tenkan]

I stumbled upon this website selling PDF copies of the 2009 standard for only $49. If purchased directly from the ASME website its $185.

Does anyone have experience with this specific website/pdf, is it legit?

It looks and smells like a scam to me. There is no way they could sell it for that cheap, and no indication of user single user product license. They obvious giveaway is they cant use grammar correctly...

I had some guy try to sell my CDs for Unigraphics V16 one year. Told him he had no legal right to sell them and he insisted he did. I asked him for a license file and he said it wasn't needed, they had included it. I reported him to the Unigraphics people to investigate.

I suggest that you send ASME an email with the link and let them do whatever they want to do (which will likely be ineffective).

You would think that a person from there would type better English.

Better spelling from someone in London? You surely jest. Plus who's to say that's the real information?

I once reported a site to ASME for having some of their standards to download. ASME acknowledged that I contacted them, not sure if it went any further.
