By the same token, if you made an e-book, you should not give it to anyone else, or you are violating "fair use."
But now you seem to be arguing that because it violates the law it is morally wrong since I thought "fair use" was a legal term. Fair use or related concepts are different in different countries so if is is fair use or legal in a country I do not understand why you still think it is morally wrong.
