I have a problem downoading stuff that is copyrighted, after all, my wife is an author. If you own a copy of a book in one format or another, i see nothing wrong with converting it to an ebook yourself or converting to another format. The copyright for printed materials is honest and fair IMHO, but I do have a problem with the way audio and software is though. It seems that you don't "own" any software. You are just using it with the gracious permission of these Giant Software companies.
A book that you purchased, completely turn you off? Stop reading it and return it and buy another.

The software you paid a bundle for, not living up to it's expectations and printed hype? Tough! Try to get a refund!
