Thank you for once again calling me stupid (my bad, you're not calling
me stupid, you're just calling the things I believe in stupid. So I'm sure that's very different.). I'm just glad that your opinion has no bearing on my views whatsoever.
I would just like to point out, that all I've said is a person-to-person transfer probably won't get anyone in trouble, but you can't resell an ebook as things currently stand. My reasoning? Because while a physical object can transfer from me to you, a license is ephemeral and cannot be transferred. So if I stripped the DRM off of a book so you could load it on your ereader,
I would be the one that could get in trouble for whatever you do with that book.
You are free to do whatever you please with your life as I am free to do whatever I wish with mine. So if you feel no remorse whatsoever for taking someone's hard work and not even offering them a "Thank you, I really enjoyed your story" in recompense, then that is entirely up to you. But don't tell me I'm wrong if I don't want to be like you.
