First of all, I said IF and MAYBE.
Second of all, the original poster said it was illegal in the US.
Third of all, while people such as yourself often get huffy about how squeaky clean Mobile Read is, at the same time they often promote (the mods do), or allow others to promote, software that is made solely for the purpose of breaking the law. They provide instructions as to how to accomplish it. They also allow discussions where lots of people talk about how they think it's ok to steal ebooks, thereby supporting each other in their need to feel ok about illegal activities. In my opinion, if their intentions were so squeaky clean, they would not be allowing any of this on this site.
