Sorry if I came across as a goody-two-shoes.
Of course I've lent other people books I've bought. Some have never come back. I have about 1000 vinyl LPs dating back to the 1960s and dubbed many of them on cassette and made compilations for friends. I've photo copied sections out of library books as well. However, in today's digital world we can make exact clones, not fuzzy copies, without lifting our butts out of our chairs. That is why DRM was implemented to protect the authors and publishers so the industry can be sustainable. There are lots of posts here with hints how DRM may be circumvented or you can just ask Google. However, if people started posting verbatim instructions, they'd be banned from this board, or the board would get shut down.
