One thing that is very legal but damaging to the author/publisher is lending pBooks.

I buy a pBook, I read it, I pass it on to all my family. I get the book back and I give it to a friend saying I don't want it back. This friend then passes it along and gives it away. Then it again makes the rounds. This can keep going on and on and it's all legal.
