3. The copies I have are extremely well edited, just as good (or even better  ) as the books found here. It is obviously the work of a real fan.
Bottom-line, would Joe have had his books out as e-books then I would have bought them legally. Since that is not possible I had to refer to other means.
After all, you just have to be realistic about that.

Joe Abercrombie has said that if he had his way the ebook version of his books would be released immediately to the kindle store and other places. But its not up to him, its up to the publisher, of when they want to release a title. He also says its in the works to have the books released legally some time this year.
