Are you going to say: "Nah, thanks man. Missed it; can't take it now. I have to live with it that the series will never be complete."

That seems awfully pretentious.
There is a big difference between stating that a rights holder has the right to withhold the right to download/copy/distribute a book, even one that had been freely available and being happy about it. I will admit that knowing what's right doesn't always equate to doing right.

Bur while I can't claim to be such a person there are people who are both scrupulously law-abiding, sincere and humble .... even when sticking to the speed limit eople
