Out of curiosity, why do you keep insisting that removing DRM and format shifting is equivalent to downloading pirated copies or "stealing". Are you accusing many of the people you are hectoring in this thread who have paid for the books they backup, format shift and read of also uploading them to pirate sites?

As for hardly anywhere else is so much stolen? I seem to notice much more activity in moves, TV shows and music than in ebooks. If nothing else, a lot more people spend a lot more time watching movies and TV or listening to music than they spend reading ebooks. It may be different in an alternate Austria where more people read books but not in this world.

As for considering them thieves? It must be nice to have such confidence in your smug superiority.
