Stealing books is openly preached against on this board. "Reasoned choices" won't deter that. The practice will be shouted down here, plain and simple. It may not change anyone's mind, but keeps the position of the board in clear plain sight.

I missed the OP's earlier post from today. Thanks for pointing that out.
I don't object to objecting to stealing. I'm not defending stealing. I don't believe in stealing. But I do think the OP has a point of view much broader than how he/she comes by some of the books he reads that is worth considering.
I didn't write anything about "seasoned choices," though I did about "reasoned choices."
People speculated that when people post about wanting privacy with respect to ereaders that it must be because they want to steal books. That's not a fair or accurate conjecture to make, which is why I went on so long about it all. People's motivations about privacy issues aren't usually because they feel the need to hide something sordid. Quite the contrary.
