I don't feel any guilt when I download a book that is not in the public domain in my country but is in another. Stupid to have several public domain laws in this one connected world.
I don't feel any guilt when I download a book from a dead author. I find that life + 70 the most stupid rule ever. I mean, I (or rather, my descendants) don't get paid when I'm dead. No matter what I've made in my life.
I feel only a slight pinch on my conscience when I download a book I already own in paper. But I'm too lazy to scan the book in myself and let others do it for me. If the book isn't available in electronic form at all, I don't feel any guilt.
I also feel only a slight pinch on my conscience when I download a book that isn't available in electronic form at all. I'd have loved to buy it, but if they don't want my business, well, that's their mistake.
Will I redistribute those books I've downloaded (no matter from where)? No. They'll only get read by me or my husband.
