I agree that the situation is really no different than if your house burned down with all your paper books, would you expect to be able to just go steal them from a bookstore or library to replace them? I don't think so.
The lesson here is: Do Not trust DRM, either Do no Buy books with DRM or Buy only Books you can Strip DRM from and back up properly.
I'm truly sorry for your loss and not sure what I would do in your position, but would like just take the insurance money (hmmm, is there a new business opportunity here?) and begin rebuilding (my library). |
Kenny, if I steal a book from the library, I am depriving other people of reading the book, and the library of their book. In this case, I would would be returning the book to the library. No one would be harmed.
What is this insurance money you speak of? Is there a company that will insure content on my home computer?
