Right is right and wrong is wrong. Harry isn't entitled to the money anymore then a person who downloads from the DN is entitled to an unpaid for book!
If you are always going to spout black & white ideals, then you better make sure you don't then turn around a paint a target on your back for being hypocritical in being just as dishonest!

Huh? I get discounts, actual checks, free merchandise on occasion from companies I have not previously dealt with. I have received more money than I spent on two occasions when I complained about a product, but I did not misrepresent myself in any way or even ask for a refund.
I don't think Harry misrepresented himself or tried to gull Amazon into giving him money, and I doubt his message was misleading.
Perhaps he should try and give the money back, but it would possibly result in a mass of complications for all concerned.
I do not think taking something freely offered is the same thing as piracy, or in this case equates to hypocrisy or dishonesty either.
