Is the website considered "pirate" because the owner bought ebooks and is now sharing them without charging? What's the difference between that and what members of this forum do? Just asking so I know and do not get spanked again.


The problem is that he is sharing copyrighted material. Copyrighted material is owned and allows for a publisher and an author to be compensated for intellectual material.

Presently, in the way the site is set up, there is no montary compensation to the publisher and the author.
