I bought a book I was much anticipating from Fictionwise. It was only available in a format that requires a bit of hassle, in order for me to read it on my 505. I subsequently stumbled across the same book on darknet, that I could transfer immediately. Guess which one I'm currently reading? I firmly believe in respecting copyright (as a writer I ought to) but equally firmly believe that I need to own, in a meaningful sense, the books I purchase. I doubt most people would hesitate, though, given the choice between paying for something that's a hassle to make readable, versus instantly readable and free.
