I only purchase DRM free music or rip my own CDs. The files are put on my file server for use within my immediate household. The kids know not to give copies of the music to their friends simply because that would be depriving the artist of earnings. I would have no problem with ebooks (obviously the ones without DRM) to share them amongst my immediate family. I would consider passing an ebook on to further flung family only if I deleted the file from my server/PCs/devices.
I know more than a few people who will not adopt ebooks because currently they lose the right of resale.
