So you think it is alright to borrow books from someone else and then make copies for yourself without the author's permission or payment? Is this only on books that you feel you won't have access to in ten years time? Or any book that you want?
BTW, if a book is still in library circulation somewhere in the world, you should be able to borrow it through interlibrary loans. I know that I have gotten a couple of books that actually were from a library in England and I am in the US.
