Piracy is wrong, but so is what the publishers are doing. Just because they have the right to do it, does NOT make it right. The music industry had to learn this the hard way, and it looks as though the publishing industry is going to have to learn the same hard lesson.
Some people are not going to wait around for the PI to come to its senses, or wait for them to engineer their "soft landing", and simply get the books off of the net.
It IS going to happen, and there is absolutely NOTHING the 2 of you can do about it. And to constantly raise this unsolvable topic here & getting into fights about it with others who have different points of view that may or may not agree with yours is also not necessary.
Even if we ALL agreed with you the piracy is morally wrong, we STILL can't do a damn thing about it to stop it.
Why don't you two just worry about maintaining your own morals & allow the rest of the board to maintain theirs.
Agree to disagree & move on.
