I figure that content is what matters less these days. People don't download huge torrents for what is inside, but for what it fills.
No, that's not what I said. I certainly don't think that buying a paper book entitled me to a free ebook, and I would (and have) bought an ebook when I already own the paper book. I was talking about the specific situation that no ebook is available to be bought.
