Either way, that is your fault, and you should accept responsibility to the same degree as though you personally had uploaded those books.
I consider it wildly unlikely that someone will steal your phone and upload your ebook library.
If your digital devices are stolen, you should be scrambling to protect your bank account and your identity.
The chances of a thief being interested in political statements about intellectual property and the "freedom of ideas" rather than your wallet are so unlikely as to be entirely ridiculous.
In other words, what I am saying is: the situation you are worried about will not happen. EVER! |
Just curious, but didn't you offer to allow people on this site to download your ebooks from your library?
