We're discussing it because of the subtlety involved.

You would have to be intentionally obtuse to not see any nuances comparing digitizing your own p-book with downloading a copy someone else made. I all cases of my claiming any morality I am talking about changing the format of something I already paid for.

Shutting down the discussion does not clarify the issue. We live in a digital age and our concept of ownership and theft is under scrutiny. Worthy topic for this board, no?

edit - It is not my intention to distress you and while my leanings are obvious I am not 100% convinced myself. The music format analogy is pushing me because that is a done deal, you ARE legally allowed to convert your own CD's to tapes or MP3's for your own use in America.
