[QUOTE=Jellby;316892]I have a PDF version of The Hobbit. I did it myself, I scanned and OCR-ed the text and pictures, and formatted the PDF. I have several paper editions of The Hobbit in ~10 languages, so I don't feel there's any
moral problem in my creating this PDF
for my own, personal use.
Totally agree with you.

I am, of course, not going to upload this file anywhere, but had I been a different person, I could have assumed that I was free to share it. A similar thing could have happend to whoever uploaded it to Feedbooks. Or it might have been an intentional act of piracy, who knows.

The fact that the person had to give false information in order to succeed in uploading it is, I think, highly suspicious. Plus, of course, the fact that they were flagrantly violating the terms of use of Feedbooks by doing so.
