Question

This thread has been pretty fascinating, but one thing I keep coming back to is this:

The pirated books were paid for originally. How is someone downloading a pirated copy of an e-book any different than a person borrowing a pbook from a friend or buying a pbook from a secondhand store?

Either way the author got paid for the original purchase, but that is all.

Not saying piracy of e-books is good or bad, just asking the question.
