With (2), if the author agreed that the owner of a P-book was entitled to a free copy of the e-book, okay. However, that's not always the case. If you're expected to pay for it, you have to pay for it. No one expects that if they buy a hardback, they'll get a free paperback. The exact same issues apply.

Are you going to ask the author if it's ok to personally rip a copy of one of your pbooks? What's the difference between doing it yourself or getting it from someone else who knows what they're doing?
