Yes, MrBlueSky is advocating theft, and justifying it by saying "it's easy."

For the record, no author is demanding a consumer pay for their works "in perpetuity"... just a one-time payment. And suggestions to the contrary are simply ludicrous.

And so is justifying theft, without a rational basis for claiming the product you desire should be stolen, because it can be stolen. After all, a book is not a meal... you will not die without it. So what possible justifiable reason would there be to steal it? None... other than personal greed and selfishness.

I daresay few of us at MobileRead are impressed by personal greed and selfishness, MrBlueSky.
