It doesn't matter if they are deDRMed or not. If the copies are not legitimate, it is not legal to download them. The section I quoted did not mention uploading, it mentions downloading.

They supposedly read very fast, but you should rather focus on correctly grasping what you read.

As for what you wrote, I saw no mention of out of copyright books or public domain books. No matter how fast I read the quoted item below, it seems to say the same thing.

Must be an interesting collection of pirate sites that you hang out on where they have an great selection of out of copyright and/or public domain books available for download.
And given that you requested information on correcting an error in one of the DeDRM 7.0β releases, it would appear that you are using DeDRM.
