4: DRM - he has DRM free books.
5: Sharing - Obviously his DRM free books are completely shareable and I get the impression he would have no problem with friends sharing amongst friends rather than someone deciding to upload the book to every internent, anonymous, bestest buddy on the torrent sites.

What more could anyone want?

Besides simply wanting it for free because they feel entitled to have it for free?

I noticed all those things you posted too. But I think moejoe was probably referring to the end of his post regarding "and you can even pretend you are stealing it".

At least thats what I took from moejoe's post.
