I had one of those "moral dilemma" or at least "interesting thought" moments the other day.
First a little background - I try to buy ebooks where I can (to the extent of telling Amazon I live in the US if a Kindle title isn't available in Oz), but will fall back to the darknet if I've reasonably exhausted all attempts to give someone money for a book I want.
The local supermarket had a stack of paperbacks at 3 for $10, and there were a number of David Baldacci books there. I'd been meaning to check some of his books out for a while now. My first thought was "Gee, I can justify this to myself if I buy the cheap paperbacks and then download darknet versions for my reader. I've paid for them and I can read them how I want to."
In the end I didn't buy the books (nor did I grab them on the darknet), but it was the first time that such a thought had occurred to me...
Cheers,
Simon.
