I'm still thinking about an ebook site where people upload books they have bought and read and then they become available for others to access, one user at a time. It sounds within the realm of current copyright law. We wouldn't have to worry about the rain either.

Because otherwise, you're a hypocrite of the vilest sort, expecting from society what you refuse to give it in return. |

As to the rest of your argument, I'll leave it to Giggleton to answer, he's pretty good at shooting fish in a barrel. Last edited by Jozawun; 09-27-2012 at 03:22 PM. Reason: Spelling |

If not, even if you queue people up so there can only be one download at a time, we are talking the potential for thousands of downloads per a book per a day. This is quite different than lending a physical copy of a book out. At this point, I am not clear how your fancy new site could be classified any differently than something like pirate bay - even if the uploader truly is the original owner of said ebook. I must be missing something. That or you've successfully trolled me. |

Doesn't change the fundamental hypocrisy of their position, though. They expect something from other they're not willing to give in return. |

As for the rest, neither hypocrisy nor dishonest is particularly uncommon. And the only thing he has ever managed to shoot is his own foot. |
