I disagree completely. Harry has put hundreds of hours into proofreading and formatting ebooks which he then uploads here so that anyone can download and read them free of charge.
When someone provides something to you for free, you take it how they give it. This is not DRM or silly restrictions like that: this is simply stating that the giver has the right to decide when and how to give you the gift.
If you think having to take a little bit of time to decide "I want
this book," rather than downloading a massive torrent that you would only read a tenth of is too much trouble, then that's your prerogative. That doesn't mean the uploaders need to follow your wishes.
As a reader of ebooks - rather than a bulk downloader - I have no problem. I can still download an entire series much faster than I could read the first volume.
