Nobody has ever lent me or given me an in-copyright ebook. Actually, a lot of my nicest books I used to own were given to me by a school or library or collector, and some were picked up for pennies at garage sales, which admittedly I don't come across often anymore, and which have very questionable legality as far as copyrights are concerned
Edit: Of course, perhaps people would lend me books if I got all of my friends a Nook or Kindle...hahaha.
