If you look at the pages for S1 and S2, you'll see an explanation for that. The webmaster feels it's wrong to post copyrighted material that's available in book form.

But that's purely his ethical thing. Legally, all unauthorized copyrighted material is off limits, even if its not available elsewhere. And the copyright holder will do their best to shut down sites like this, even if they have no plans to distribute the material themselves. They're afraid it'll lose value if it's freely distributed. It's a big political issue in the U.S.

Just to add to that this site picked up the baton from a US site that did get shut down. The US site had the same ethical position but the lawyers didn't care.

I suspect that the reason this site is still up is due to it being in another country.
