Get real! your conclusions are invalid because your logic is invalid. I think all you want is a free lunch. Every since I was 10 years old I have been dreaming such a day as this would come. Personal computers, cell phones, and ebooks were just a dream in 1950. I won't let selfish thinking like yours spoil that dream. I believe in socialism up to a point, but when everything is free, what's the point of working? I guess I just don't understand the "ME" generation.  |
p3aul no offense but you don't actually seem to be reading people's replies. You seem to have no interest in actually responding to the points people are raising.
Yet again no one is saying that everything should be free and that they don't want to pay. We DO want to pay (and indeed we are paying for our ebooks) we just want to ensure that after we've paid for something we can still read it in 5, 10, 20 years time. Just like we can with a paperback or hardback.
When I buy an ebook that's only available in mobi or lit format the only way I can read it on my Sony is by removing the drm. Do you really think I should be prosecuted just for doing that?
I pay for all my books and I resent the implication that I should be prosecuted just for reading on my device of choice or that I'm a pirate just because I still want to read a book I've paid for in 10 years time when publishers eventually settle on just one format.
If you can't debate the actual points being raised and just continue to accuse us of believing that everything should be free (even though no else has even mentioned this!) then this will be my last reply.
