Peter Thiel’s startup class notes in PDF

This is awesome. But, I hope Blake is fine with this. I did the same thing earlier, scraped the posts and created a epub. He immediately sent me an email:<p><i>Please remove the ePub version of my notes that you put on Github.<p>Peter Thiel, Clarium, and I are still figuring out what to do with the content. Very likely we will be publishing something ourselves.<p>As you do not own the content and did not ask for permission, please take down the doc immediately<p>(You can of course do this for personal use. Just please don't distribute it right now.)</i>

And the same thing in "book" version ready to print/read:<p><a href="http://img.atlastory.com/PeterThielOnStartups.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://img.atlastory.com/PeterThielOnStartups.pdf</a>

Masters is not OK with this. See earlier post: <a href="http://blakemasters.tumblr.com/post/22922727433/read-share-please-dont-transform-or-sell" rel="nofollow">http://blakemasters.tumblr.com/post/22922727433/read-share-p...</a>

How does this not violate the No Derivatives portion of the content license?

At around 27MB download, this notes PDF is more of a medium sized book. I browsed the first few pages and it looks great. Will need a few hours to study it and get into Peter's head to see how he sees the world.

Thanks for taking the time to do this.

Here they are as a Readlist, which one can send to Kindle all chapter-ized. <a href="http://readlists.com/eff6d6d6/" rel="nofollow">http://readlists.com/eff6d6d6/</a>

Does anyone know if he plans to teach the course again? I'd love to take it before I graduate...

Anyone has actually read the thing and can make a little "lessons learned" summary?

It might be a great read. I'm sure plenty of young people will find this useful.<p>Are there any similar books/notes/pdfs around?

I've turned Blake's blog posts into an audio collection simply using Apple's built in Text to Speech. It makes for a remarkably listenable series.
