I don't mind paying for books, I figure the authors and, yes, even the publishers deserve their pound of flesh, since I certainly can't do what they do. Having said that, I think that once someone has purchased it, there shouldn't be restricitions on how they use it, as long as they are not making copies to sell. Sharing a book with a friend should be allowed. I just wish they didn't view ebooks as the obnoxious cousin you have to invite to the party but don't really want there. Not that I would know about such things. . .
