You haven’t a clue what you are talking about. The publishers I bought from that closed properly told customers to download their books for backup. Are you actually saying that the publishers told their customers to commit an illegal act?

I get that a lot. In fact I have a seperate collection of duplicate books where I have bought them twice, once from Amazon via the publisher, then the second time when the author got their rights back and republished because the said publisher never paid them. It happened a lot in one specific genre I read.

I also have audiobooks for some ebooks that are whispersynced and it’s hit and miss what version the audiobook links to.
