I see nothing wrong in Roshan asking for the material though
he might have missed it is a paid talk. He has a point even
if inadvertently.

IMHO, now a days, the right thing to do is to actually share
the material even if the actual talk is a paid one. People are paying
mainly for being in the class and getting taught by the speaker, not
only for the teaching material.

If the lecture is good, people will still come though the material
is free.

If not the whole material, then at least the code samples.

All the best for the talk.
