Unless they already have that information on file......  then it sounds, feels and looks free to me.

It's not free at all.  If it were free then you would be permitted to download it without needing to sign up or have an 
account. (or have cookies enabled ...)

Many companies continue to train people to give away their information as if it is meaningless.  If you choose to 
download this book then there is a price.  As with all purchases the PRICE has a different VALUE to each person.  
$1,000 means more to some and less to others.  Just like money, purchasing habits & contact information mean more to 
some and less to others.

Calling it free is simple misleading.

The price is information about the purchaser.  For a book honoring Data Privacy, that sounds ironic to me.
