A spaghetti publisher is one whose philosophy of publishing is to "throw it at the wall and see if it sticks." Over the last few months, they been very busy putting out badly written Internet books, and are looking for yet more material they can rush into print in their ever greedier search for easy $.

Lately, spaghetti publishers have taken to exploiting FAQs, lists and the World Wide Web, often publishing information taken from them without obtaining written permission. This is an abuse of the copyright laws, and threatens the continued viability of the various Internet information systems which benefit us all. These are the same publishers who would sue at the drop of a hat if anyone so much as used a figure from their books without permission.

This language comes from the comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc faq, maintained Bernard Aboba.
