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.
