I don't buy the argument that it is wrong though. Wrong is relative, who is to say that information should belong to one person or a group of people? Just because someone created something doesn't mean he or she should own the very idea of it. But that's how it works these day, crazy really.

I download from the darknet under two conditions.
1) The publishers have continued to refuse to release ebook versions of novels within a series.
2) I spot new authors I'm not sure I will like, but I'd like to read one of their books before buying.
