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.

Ummm dude. Neither is any other post on this forum going to change anything, but I can assure you if enough people get fed up with cheaters and thieves something will be done about it.
Now you claim what the publishers are doing is wrong, but it's not. They are not the ones breaking the law. And No I'm not just going to sit by and not say anything. Not saying anything is implicit agreement with the activity.
If you've been around here any time at all you'll know that this thread comes up over and over and over and it's generally the same players saying the same thing.
As I've said before I will continue to state my position on when this comes up. I am not going argue on it endlessly but I will state my position and point out the errors in others positions.
Oh and it's not just 2 of us.
