I came across some copyrighted materials on the website of doha.ac.mu. I was surprised to see copyrighted ebooks on computing lurking under the web address of an educational institution (based on the .ac.mu domain). It is a severe breach of law to share copyrighted materials without permission and I would not expect such an action from a school/university

I clicked on the links and the full ebooks are actually shared.

I went to the homepage doha.ac.mu but the same is showing a database connection error.

Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL

I ran a whois on the domain but there is no registrant information.

Thus I could not find an email address to flag the issue of sharing copyrighted material. I would not bother looking for the institution’s email address somewhere else if they do not care about fixing their website. I am rather putting CERT-MU in the loop to look into the matter.
