Well true, but we were actually talking about the converse of that ....i.e. when a book is PURCHASED legitimately. There should be some record of that. And while the opposite may not be true, there probably is a record or account or substantiation of the publisher/owner offering it as a free download at some point. And being so, I wouldn't think there would not be any occasion to have to "prove" it was purchased.
