Imagine being upset that 20 years of your award-winning labour is being given away freely online.
Imagine how helpful you'd find any response that contains the words "shouldn't have."
I'd say that the spirit of the CD terms was that hardback owners could share them with their friends. I think the open internet distribution was maybe an unwanted side-effect. I think it's great that the main web distributors have respected the author's wishes, and honestly, I feel that boycotting Bujold for her mistaken attitude is cutting off your nose to spite your face. If I had to choose between Bujold and the entire rest of Baen, I'd choose Bujold.
I own them all up to Cryoburn on paper, some more than once. I downloaded the Cryoburn CD from Fifth Imperium when it was available. It's nice to have e-versions of the books.
