However, my point is that it's unreasonable to expect media companies not to regard this as piracy. They cannot know that I've bought the extra set of books, and I rather suspect that most people who download the pirated books do not do this. I regard the media companies as being absolutely within their rights to come after illegal downloaders.

Well, I think that's a very big waste of tax-payer money, myself.
I've no problem with going after piracy sites, but going after individual downloaders who may well be *effectively* format-shifting is, imho, wasteful. And that was what I was referring to earlier. I apologize if I was unclear.
