Well, the book is a huge work made by someone which is paid to do so for a
specific program.

Why other people should be allowed to use the same without paying?

It is like getting a source program and sell it like you made it.
This is not allowed and neither is to use a book, made by someone which gives
you no rights for this porpuse, in tournaments or commercially. It is what
Jeroen Nooman said quite often.
