Toward the bottom of the link we specifically rule out hosting or linking to copyright violations:
Quote:
MobileRead does not condone or support the use of this web site to break the law. This means that, to the extent possible, we will not allow posting of instructions showing someone how to break the law or requests for such instructions.
In particular items that break copyright law or DRM cannot be supported. eBooks posted to this site must be legally posted using applicable law and permissions.
Laws certainly vary between countries and something may be perfectly lawful in one country while being unlawful in another. MobileRead moderators are not legal lawyers or policemen so it is up to the individual to determine if they can download an eBook or make use of forum or wiki content. In general items in this site will conform to the laws of the hosting country, Canada, however it is recognized that forum members live all over the world. Note that a second server in the USA is available for eBooks that are in the public domain for USA but not in Canada.
In some cases a particular piece of software being discussed may serve multiple uses which might include unlawful use. It is not MobileRead's practice to assume that such software will be used unlawfully if it has a lawful use. Again the individual user will need to know the law where they live.
This should not be construed to limit discussion on these topics, although MobileRead reserves the right to limit discussion that is outside the realm of good taste or uses foul or hateful language.

Since you wish your membership to be ended, Bill the Smith, I will do so. But I'm sorry that you feel the need to go. All we ask is that people behave fairly politely and don't break copyright laws. Otherwise almost anything goes.
