Not even close.

Where I stand now is:
Ethically, it is OK because I hurt no one. I have compensated the author and publisher for their work.

Morally, I don't know. Primarily because a large portion of the moral aspect hangs on legality. And I'm no lawyer.

Yet to be resolved:
1. Did I purchase a copy of the book or a license to the content of the book, (along with a copy of the book)?
2. If I purchased a license for the content, does it matter where the content is obtained from?
