About the actual topic:

If the defendant had done the same thing in paper & ink, creating a new "for dummies" book out of Wileys control, I think everybody would have agreed on the fact it's counterfeit.

So, if the ebook in the torrent was made from scratch (retyping or using a scanner) by Mr. Carpenter, I have no doubt in calling it "fake".
But if the uploaded file was the actual Wiley ebook, I really can't see what's counterfeited in it....
