Why didn't you send a check to the creator when you took the e-book file in the first place?
Guess what most people would do?
Fact is, if someone scanned that book and made it available, for free or at a charge, and that file was not authorized by the creator, it is not your right to have it. It is your right to make it for yourself. So make it yourself, but don't take it for free from someone who shouldn't be giving it to you. If that's not morally clear, I don't know what is.

Firstly, I would appreciate if you would make some attempt at being civil.
Secondly, I am not compensating the original person who scanned the book because they're not asking me to. They have a right to set the price of their labor. If they choose to set that at $0, then that's fine by me.
Thirdly, yes I actually would pay for the ebook if it became available. Please don't accuse me of being a liar. It's incredibly offensive.
