I've really given up on this thread because I clearly see that Mr Jordan and I will never agree.

For the record, Mr Jordan, I am scrupulously honest (despite your stated opinion). I spent 35 years of my life as a software developer, so I do understand the issues, and I would not dream of stealing someone else's work. Everyone deserves to be fairly compensated for their work.

We simply disagree on what is fair. Legality is, I think, on my side, at least in the US.

Oh, and Amazon appears to agree with me too, since any ebook purchased can be downloaded at any future time, for free, and put on up to 6 different Kindles (that one actually makes me frown a bit). You agreed to this as well when you offered your own material for sale in the Kindle Bookstore.

Purchase it once, own it forever, that seems to work for them as well as it does me.
