You buy one of Terry Goodkind's ebooks and then zip it up in a torrent with a text file with your full name and contact details saying you're "allowed" to do that. Then release it on a torrent site.
At that point let's see what happens, my bet is you'll be prosecuted.

What that sounds like is me simply moving my bookshelf from my room to my front yard and placing a sign that says read what you will. You might say that with physical books only one person can read a book at a time, but it is definitely possible for one to hold the book and another to read over that person's shoulder.
I am of course simply making a weird analogy, as you have just done.
Getting back to the reality, If I host my ebooks on a personal server and allow browser based cloud access to them, but for only one user at a time, would that be allright??
