You're vanishingly unlikely to actually be prosecuted for it, but it is, technically at least, illegal. It's a breach of the 1998 "Copyright, Designs, and Patents Act", to be specific.
Thanks, Harry.

I will study that law in the next few days.

I am quite interested in this subject - not only as a e-reader but also (maybe even mainly) as a jurist.

I will get back to this subject soon! (if I manage to get the time to read everything I want to)
