And we're back to the circular argument. If I buy it used and scan it, neither the author or the publisher receives any money from the sale. If I save a step and pull it down off the darknet, neither the author or the publisher receives any money. Other than your ethics, there is no difference in the end.
I'm talking about out of print books here. My *personal* ethics doesn't allow me to acquire books still in print.
