True, that's what I meant. Giving something like that away online would be like waving a red flag in front of a bull. Though I imagine they might have some way of telling a given copy from another even with DRM stripped (and who can say they don't?) it would be more likely not to be noticed if it's just one copy rather than several 100 or more like it would be online. I like to keep a backup copy of books I download (like from MR) on either CD or DVD so that I have one just as a precaution. I love the convenience of ebooks. I have always loved to read but it isn't always convenient to have pbooks around (they take up too much room) and aside from the DRM problem ebooks allow a way to solve that.
