One can't point out sources of legal books if there's a chance these sources might also have illegal books?

I included Silk Pagoda in the list of sources. At one time, they sold some Doc Savage ebooks which were the subject of a copyright dispute. I completely ignored the dispute. The forum monitors can't expect folks to know all the copyright timelines in all the countries of the world.
Thus:
a) Some warez site of books pirated from the Sony Store = not something you should put on the forum.
b) Some ebook site that might have a book or two that's got a questionable provenience = OK
c) Software tool for removing DRM = gray area as it depends on the country you're in.
