If I'm understanding this right...

It's legal to *acquire* or unauthorized copies, just not to *share* them? (But doesn't acquiring the copy involve "making" a copy, on your computer or reader or other device?)

This is a new thought for me; I'd thought having the copies themselves was against the law, not just the distribution of them.
