LOL I think you answered your own question. If you can't get the book, it's not a pirate site. It's a malware site. Move on. Nothing to see here.
Scam site, malware or pirates?
My friend found her book on this site, offered for free. It has an ISBN that actually belongs to a different book and different publishing house, and the publisher's name they use is a bastardization of that publishing house name (close but no cigar). But every time she refreshes the page, it clones itself as a different site.
For instance, when she first went there, it looked like a FreeBooksHub site, then it turned into Book Reader, then it turned into another site, then another site.
Does anyone have any experience with this site -- and for heaven's sake, don't go there! I'm just wondering if anyone knows if it's a scammer site that's downloading spyware or malware with the presumed manuscript or if it's a pirate site that she needs to worry about. The site is called tecor(dot)tinctoga(dot)books(forwardslash)eu but I would not recommend actually going to the link.
And how does it keep changing the facade every time the page is refreshed? That's quite a trick.

I don't know if you can or not -- ever since she told me about the site and sent me the screenshots, I've been carefully avoiding going to it! I don't know if she tried to download the book (apparently, it's a free pdf on the site) or not. I've been telling her to run a virus scan, just in case.
