Re: My wife was one of them

Irk away become one with your "snarkyness", stealing books online is theft of Intellectual Property. I am sure your law degree keeps your from being one of the ignorant ones. Have a great day

In spite of your sarcasm, you are correct. I do not hold a law degree. But I do have a basic grasp of US law that is taught in any high school civics class.

I am not trying to defend or justify the act in any way. But call it for what it is.

Actually I wasn't questioning your knowledge, I think that the issue could go either way or more likely both copy protection and theft charges could be levied. I graduated from H.S. over 35 years ago I'm lucky to even remember the name of the school any longer and I did not take any law classes in College.
I will agree that the copy right is being infringed as well. Thanks

I don't think it's illegal if she bought the book.

Kind of how it's legal to download an MP3 if you own the cd.

You own the intelectual property, whats the big deal if you have a digital copy for personal use?
