Hmm. Interesting thread. I believe that I am entitled to read however I like, be it with a book, on a phone, a dedicated reader, etc.. Ebooks should be treated no differently than a regular book. If I buy a book I am entitled to resell it, loan it out, donate it, or whatever else I choose to do. DRM technology forces you to buy the book again if your device breaks.
If someone takes the time and effort to scan a book they purchased to share it, how is this wrong? And how is it different from giving it (the physical copy) to someone else to read. After all, the person you are giving it to didn't pay for it.
Not sure how this will all play out in the future, but if you buy it I say you own it.
That's my opinion, humbly submitted for your approval or bashing.
