Good point Barry. To take it one stage further, Someone says they do not pirate ebooks. Okay. Are they telling the truth? Maybe. Maybe not.
What I can say is that I think a lot of people are too quick to make accusations wiithout really knowing what the real facts are.
1. Is the person concerned trolling?
2. Has the person concerned given full information?.
Do they not buy ebooks because they buy cheap
paperbacks and scan them.
3. Are they bought ebooks by family as gifts? I
presume eBook sellers allow you to buy ebooks as
gifts.
4. Do they only read PD, Fanfic and free ebooks?
If you cannot answer all these questions I do not think you should be so ready to accuse people.
But of course it is too easy to shout "XXX is a witch, burn them" and too often there is a mob that will agree.
