since this is a ranting thread, i'll be putting my two cents here, though it may not be consistent with the current topic (bathrooms? o.o)
i'm tired of not knowing what to say when i talk about prices of ebooks with my family and they just tell me to download torrents. if it's an out-of-copyright book or books that i can get for free LEGALLY, then I'd go for it, but I do balk somewhat (and also feel guilty) about illegally downloading ebooks, simply because i feel for the author. i find it ironic that some members of my family would tell me that authors "generally starve" while they support illegally downloading ebooks. and I just don't know how to reason with people who don't really respect logical arguments. my eldest sister is a reasonable enough person, but my brother is just well, you just can't reason with him. i mean, i would think that any person would prefer free if they can get it, but there is a line.
