DRM and Casual Piracy ... Casual Piracy the "sharing" or "lending" of ebooks.
There is a listed group of those who appear to support the idea that lending or giving ebook files to others, who do not buy their own ebooks, is not something they would do. The on topic point being that they are unlikely to be doing much Casual Piracy, even if they may be removing the DRM. There are a couple of other posters who seem to be advocating the sharing of ebooks to "friends"/(muchers) and relatives. Either that, or their posts are simply off topic expressions of their "Moral"? viewpoint. I'm not sure where these two stand on DRM but they do seem to be supporting "Casual Piracy". Whereas those they listed are for practical purposes, at least, somewhat against it. To my mind that makes those two the "Casual" Pirates that the DRM proponents are so afraid of, and those of us who just remove the DRM to make our purchases more useful, as the victims in this scenario.
