<<So the definition of "money grubbing" is "charging more than you want to pay for something", and because it's more than you want to pay, it's therefore okay for you to steal it?
<<<
<<Do you think that stealing from authors makes you a good person? Do you think that the best way to protest against a money grubbing society is to steal from authors? Really? <<
if I buy and pay for a physical copy of a book and then get a darkside vertion for my reader (e-reader slim light weighing machine easy to transport many books) in my book (pun intended)that is not stealing..that is aquiring a diferant vertion of something I have allready paid for!!!
Money grubbing is a lot of people over charging for something that may or may not be worth it...how many times have you bought a book and found it to be rubish and not worth the money...hah try to take it back to the book shop to get your money back...as in all things theire are variouse shades of grey...could you please explaine in which way I have done any auther out of money...
<<If you then make a number of copies and pass them out to your friends and family, what are you doing?
<<
I am lending -giving out to my family and freinds a paid for book as I would do with a paper vertion..the only differance is I do it all at once..I do not put it out where thousands can download...lets be honest (huh) one buys a book reads it and in 99% of cases it then soon ends up in the trash..There are only a few books worth reading over and over again in my case les miserables (the french vertion) and war and peace are 2 books that I reread once again every year and each time I discover something new and delight in meeting familier people and places...now a very silly question SHOULD I PAY AN AUTHER every time I REREAD HIS BOOK...a really silly question but in the extreme you could make a case for doing so!!
