Sorry, but I beg to differ. A publisher is free to impose whatever sales restriction they wish on an item. That does not make it "legitimate" to take that item without paying for it merely because you disagree. It's their property to do with as they wish. |
Gollu does have a point. It might not be the right course of action to get your books, but a publisher is very narrow minded if they thinks that publishing their books in only one (propriety) format will not cause people to search for their books on the darknet.
Yes, it is their property to do with as they wish, but sometimes you should tell them that what they are doing isn't the wisest course of action as it will cause people to not buy their books but download them instead.
