I've made money from authors' and publishers' effort without them making a single penny and I'm still a good person, even smart.
If i did it with ebooks I'd be Public Enemy #1.....

Just idle curiosity on my part, but is it actually illegal to transfer ownership of an ebook - assuming you retain no copy yourself - in Italy (or in the USA for that matter)? I mean, it probably wouldn't be practical in most cases because of DRM, but I don't see anything morally wrong with it, assuming the file was unmodified and you didn't keep it yourself. Seems like it would be OK regardless of whether you regarded it as analogous to a pbook or a software license. However, if there is anything I've learned from following these discussions it is that analogies are dangerous.
