Quite so, but this poll was asking for what people felt was right or wrong. When I said that the author had been paid in all these cases, they were referring to various different ways of getting an electronic copy when you already have a paper one (for which the author was paid).

So, although it may be illegal to download an electronic copy of a book which you own on paper - do you think it's wrong? Obviously, there's no right answer, I was canvassing opinion.
