Worldwalker's post fits logic and reasoning. That having been said, I haven't even checked out darknet books, other than that when I google an ebook to find a place to buy it, it seems most hits are from other sources than bookstores. I have to say that it gets frustrating when I can't buy a book I want because of various restrictions. So far I've stayed away from darknet, because I want to support the authors and also follow law®ulations - but it seems more and more geographical etc restrictions are popping up to make it more and more difficult for "law abiding people" to get ebooks they want.
