I just discovered this today, perhaps it has already been discussed, so forgive me if this is a repeat.
This is on Carl Olof Jonsson's website, not an illegal download.
Gentile Times Reconsidered 4th edition
http://kristenfrihet.se/english/gtr4/contents.htm [link replaced after wannabefree checked the copyright - Lady Lee]
First of all it isn't on his site. It is on another site. The book is published by Commentary Press and that isn't the link you posted either. Link has been removed
I must disagree with you Lady Lee, that link is from Jonsson's website. All of his work is on the main page, I provided the link directly to the publication. The link is on his website along with all of his other work.
This is the link to his website, a link that is provided in other works done by him, namely the two part commentary on the recent When Was Ancient Jerusalem Destroyed? articles.
This is the link he provides,
If you read the actual link it is by a person named Kristen and is on a Christian Freedom web site. Just because they have links to all his work doesn't mean they aren't copyrighting his work. Carl does not "publish" the book, The page clearly said Commentary Press is the publisher.
Now I am not saying that maybe Carl has given other language versions of his book to different publishers. But the link you gave was for an English version of the book and Commentary Press owns that one.
Sometimes these things are tricky and they word it in a way to blur the lines of who has the right to distribute the book.
Now what you could do is contact Carl himself and see what he want. Send him the link and ask for clarification. Hmmm no email link to him on the site but you could try this person E-mail to: Leslie Wiklander
This is the link for Commentary Press http://www.commentarypress.com/ which is in the midst of a revamp of the site
I'll shoot over an email, I don't want to cause trouble for the owner of the copyright.
Here is a link to his other work, which when viewed, provides links directly to the website in question.
Even though has has posted the article (or allowed it to be posted) doesn't mean he wanted his book up for grabs on the site. And I still see nowhere that he says it is HIS site. I did look at the articles you mentioned and he does say people can read the article, Parts 1 and 2, on the site. But he doesn't say it is his site.
Someone as well known as Carl would want his own name on the website where he would be making his literature available. Check it out with the Leslie email address.
"If you read the actual link it is by a person named Kristen and is on a Christian Freedom web site."
Lady Lee, kristen is not a person's name, LOL. 'Kristen frihet' is Swedish for 'Christian Freedom'. I have no idea if the site is authorized or not by the copyright owner for the book, although the author definitely does direct people to it, but Kristen is not a person. Also just because Commentary Press is a publisher, does not mean they own the copyright.
The link is at the top of this page ... http://kristenfrihet.se/english/epage.htm

Hello.
I noticed the link to "Gentile Times Reconsidered" on your website, since this website is referred to in Mr. Jonsson's recent work about the Watchtower's latest articles on "When Was Ancient Jerusalem Destroyed?", I assume he also has given permission for the above mentioned book to be available on the website. Could you please verify this for me.
Thank you.

Greetings Mr Xxxxxx,
Yes I have permission for that. We have in fact been working together some time to get this material out on the web.
The reason for this is that that the books are all sold out, so Mr Jonsson wanted it to available for everybody on the web instead.

Oh that's fantastic! Thanks for the heads up, wannabefree! It's long overdue.
Yep, it's kosher, folks! ( 'LW' owns the site and hosts COJ's articles for him.)
