I didn't assume. I said perhaps and put a question mark. It was a question. And if you reread what that person wrote it's a good question.
"You don't have to do the deDRM thing. All you have to do is acquire ebooks with .mobi extensions. Thats all there is to it. I have over 12000 .mobi titles of
every author imaginable."
Not every author imaginable offers their books for free online.
Shinew - I disagree. File sharing is stealing. You're splitting hairs and saying simply because the 'sharer' isn't charging it's not piracy. Those unpaid for copies given out are pirated/stolen/illegal books. Same diff only no funds have changed hands. It doesn't negate the fact that unpaid for copies are floating around. The act of distributing, or what you & others call sharing, unpaid for works is still piracy.
