Obviously I've phrased it too ominously, while trying to avoid phrases like "pirated books".
But out of curiosity:
The headline of the poll says:
Your own content or "from somewhere else"?
What was your interpretation, where I wanted to hint at with "own content" (vs. "somewhere else") and why I put "somewhere else" in quotation marks? Maybe I should have put a "wink" behind the "somewhere else"? But then the interpretation would have been, I play pirating down or even recommend it...
And like I wrote before:
The "for free" in "I download my content for free from "somewhere else"" has been added by a moderator. I think "I download my content "from somewhere else"" right after "I buy from my merchant of choice..." would have been more distinct...
