So yes, if you buy Wool or The Arrangement free, if you distribute it to others you are committing piracy.
Question: When I buy 20 copies of a printed book, I am free to do whatever I want with it, meaning, I can give them away for free, right?

Next Question: When I buy an ebook 20 times, I should be eligible to do the same and give it away for free to whomever I want, right?

So when there is an ebook freely available, it should be okay for me to give it away, provided I downloaded it for free as often as I want to give it away, correct?
