Putting the original questions in a list form, with minor text adjustments to accommodate that format a bit better: - If a blog [or other website], which is not affiliated with a legitimate bookseller, is hosting and giving away hundreds of free ebooks they did not create (and therefore [presumably] don't own a copyright to), how [can you tell if] the downloads are legal?
- Because they say so?
- Where [do] they get legal rights to distribute the books?
- [Do] you care if [that] download is legal or not?
As I said originally, they're good points to consider -- probably worthy of their own thread, but since we've never been terribly fussy around here about threads taking new directions on their own, there's no need to start a new one at this point. |
If my eyes are not deceiving me, then I am very surprised and happy about this.
Thank you very much for actually reading what I said and obviously giving it some thought and coming up with . . . what I said! And thank you for posting it too.
