AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a preprint resource related to quantum field theory, which was available for legal download from the author's homepage. Participants express concern over the author's website becoming non-functional due to a reported hardware failure, leading to requests for copies of the preprint and errata. Speculation arises regarding potential publisher backlash for offering the preprint, with some fearing legal repercussions. The conversation highlights the importance of the resource and the community's effort to access it despite the website's issues.

According to the https://www.amazon.com/review/product/0521864496/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_img?_encoding=UTF8&showViewpoints=1"&tag=pfamazon01-20 on Amazon, it's pretty good.

Download it http://www.physics.ucsb.edu/~mark/qft.html".

There is also an errata list, so it is a quite useful resource :-)

Best of all, it is a leagal downloading of the preprint from the authors homepage.
 
Hey in the last 2 weeks his website has become non existant. Is there anyone who could send me a copy of the preprint version and errata? He seems to have dissappeared
 
I sent you a PM. I don't anything happened specifically to him or his web site. The site says something about a hardware failure.
 
would you mind pm'ing me as well?
 
@ Frederik: PM me too!
 
It's back!

I thought maybe the publishers got mad at him for offering a preprint so maybe the website went down due to the police or something.
