Editor’s Corner:The problem with braindumps

Braindumps are Questions and Answers taken from exams or other tests that have been copyrighted. Braindumps are illegal. All candidates that take an IT certification exam, are required to sign non disclosure agreement (NDA) to not to leak the exam related information. But leaks happen and it is these the leaks have led to dozens of braindumps providers. 
Braindumps are a copyright violation in many cases and you can lose your certification. If you use braindumps, you learn little or nothing about the subject – you won’t be able to do the job and will lose credibility. If you need to spend hours memorizing hundreds of questions and answers, you might as well spend that time towards learning.
