I had put "from somewhere else" in quotation marks. In combination with the headline "own content or 'from somewhere else'" I hoped it would be clear what I was aiming at.
Yes, free can be from all kinds of sources. But that's not the point that was interesting me.
Since the word "pirated" has been repeated already (which I wanted to avoid): The issue that interests me: In my small test group of about 10 friends, only 1 is sideloading his own legally obtained content. All others sideload from the darknet. It will be different amongst mobileread users of course. But I wanted to get a feeling, to what extent sideloading equals using pirated stuff. In my small test group it would be >>90%, which might be a bit drastic for the general population, but doesn't seem entirely unrealistic.
