Well, I used your terms and I think but I might misremember that you wrongly calls copyright infringement for theft and then starts calling people criminal or criminal scumbag or similar.

I just realized another bad thing with this. Since I cannot sell anything that contains copyrighted material since I think this is immoral I cannot sell my Cybook if I would want to. So the second hand value has become zero for me which was not in the original equation. In the same way I think what Bookeen has done is selling something that has copyrighted material and where they do not own the copyright or have the right to sell it or distribute it.
