We need air, food, water, and shelter. We have no "textual need". Entertainment is a luxury.

Once again, several lifetimes worth of reading is available in the public domain. Even if there were some "textual need", it could be fulfilled via public domain.


Downloading, as you mean it, is definitely copying. After all, you're not removing the material from the source and then revoking access after you're done with it ala e-libraries.

I'd still like to know why your book on Amazon isn't priced at $0.00. Hypocritical much?
