That the moral judgements of some here regarding the actions of others, with no allowance apparent for the others being innocent third parties, is to me morally disturbing.
To be fair, I don't believe HarryT would call your mother a thief until/unless she reads this thread (or one like it).
At which point she would be responsible for giving all those books a thorough background check.
