The third item was a 16.1 MB PDF of 1,344 pages. A quick scan of the PDF shows every page appears to be readable. 11 pages devoted to BASH. Information on other interesting topics too.
on a site hosted in Russia which appears to be FULL of copyright violations.
Probably not really a software pirate but an individual (and a keen cyclist) storing some old-ish PDFs on his own web site.
The PDF *itself* is still pirated. It has nothing whatsoever to do with "software" piracy.
So there is little to fear from the web site of a Russian cyclist who likes Linux.
I don't even fully trust docs written by any third party until I can cross-check it against official documentation. So I definitely do not think it's okay to trust pirated documentation from a Russian site I will never be able to know anything about.
