Because it is of course highly intuitive to read "purchased" as "obtained legally from anonymizing sources".

"I buy all my ebooks from Project Gutenberg". Yeah, right.

Some purchases might be for "0", like someone described before for freebies from Amazon, where you still use the 1-click button and get a bill for "0".
Some purchases may be via flatrate/monthly fee. Some may be from public libraries. You don't pay directly, but (eventually) via your taxes.
And I am not and never have been talking about those... I have been talking about PG and the Patricia Clark Memorial Library and other such sources.
Are those being paid for? How?
