Maybe you understand it this way - I download from some sites only public domain books:
a) because there are almost only those with leather and gold edges in my library - I don't know any such from current authors.
b) and in my eyes everyone who uses DRM for any reason is one who:
- violates the law existing in cultural states:
- the EBook distributor,
- the publisher,
- and therefore also the author
harms.
And now the exciting question: how do you describe such a damaging action? I call it theft.
