Please let me know the next time you go on holiday. Do you live in a nice place to visit?
EDIT: Yes, I've only been to Toronto once. I wouldn't mind visting again since it was a work trip an the only site seeing I did was a trip to Niagara Falls.

Can you convince me that your impact on my home and bills would be as non-existent as the impact on the physical stock of textbooks when a digital duplicate is made? If so, you are totally staying over (I've just moved into a south-facing 20th-storey apartment. If you can stand the smell of drying paint, and you're as squeaky-clean as ones and zeroes, you're totally welcome; you'll love the view).
If you derive benefit from something of mine and it costs me nothing that you did, then yes, yes absolutely, enjoy! Why should I stop you? I don't hate you.
