Ok.. I marked "Not Sure"

I understand the need for copyright. I understand that authors need to be protected and earn *some* income from their sweat and tears.

I also think that the original purpose of copyrights has been corrupted by corporate interests that have nothing to do with original intent.

Have I got books that are out of print and I've obtained from the darknet? Yes... But, i'm still bothered by the fact that *some* of the authors are still alive.

Have I got books that are still under copyright in the United States, even though the authors have been dead for many years passed the original intent of copyright? Yes.. And I feel no guilt.

So there..
