I voted no because I don't believe in the idea of piracy. Texts should be available to all because they are texts, knowledge, beneficial to the advancement of culture.

So... by that logic.. It would NOT be illegal for me to take the entire book and type it into a word document. It would NOT be illegal for me to scan the book. None of those acts would be illegal. So, if I were to have a copy of the book, with the exact same content, in ebook form.. I wonder if I could legally fight challenges of piracy under a "Doctrine of First Sale" case. |

Yes but then it isn't really piracy in my opinion. I did that for a paper book that I couldn't find but know that I have. |

The publishers and distributors are already invoking limited terms of usage models based on a supported-device/authorized-user-only licensing. How is it any different? That being said I don't agree with a free for all on pirating of ebooks. But if I own the hardcopy book, I feel no guilt about side loading an DRM stripped version of that same book on my device. |

I have pirated seven books, ie the Harry Potter series. When the author gets off her butt and sells them through her website or Amazon or where ever, I will happily purchase the books. I have no interest in re-reading the last 4 books in hardback form because they uncomfortable to hold and are far to heavy. I bought the hardbacks and the paperbacks so I don't feel like I have deprived her of any money.

Cool, did you get your ereader for free also? I mean that's what we use to read texts, so that should be free too right? Also internet access, otherwise how can we download? And houses, because living under a roof is pretty important. I can't wait till you're in charge of this bustling economy.
