You go back to the shop you got it from and ask for a refund and you are told no. Sometime in future you happen to find an ebook copy of this same book that someone scanned. You download this copy and convert it and format it how you like. You still have the legal copy and now the illegal copy. You paid for the legal copy, but have been unable to read it. Do you see there to be a moral issue here? I kow technically legally the law was broken.

No Jon, I have no "moral" problem with that from YOUR point of view. What I have the problem with is the fact that the illegal book is "out there in the wild" in the first place. You have paid for it, but there will be thousands of other downloaders who have not.
