No need for us to get in that debate again, as we've done it too many times to agree. You know I support changing laws to give publishers and content creators more control over their products. I know you're thoroughly opposed to that.
Most people on here only care about getting their e-books and other media as cheap as possible and being able to do whatever they want with it. I'm on the other end and behind protecting the publishers and authors products.
And sure there are examples of being able to enjoy things without paying for them. But outside of libraries, publisher give aways etc. one shouldn't be able to read a book the author decided to sell (rather than give away) without paying for it. Same for music, videos and any other type of content.
Creators are free to give it away, which is easier than ever in the internet age. But if they decide to sell it, they should have the most control over it possible IMO. So again, just an agree to disagree with you and most of the posters on this and other forums.
