Copyright Infringement: Where do you stand on the subject of eBook copying/theft/piracy?
-
Book publishers are starting to get more vocal nowadays with regards to eBook Theft/Piracy. Do you agree with them? http://stopebooktheft.com

Answer:
Here's a different point of view: Those who never purchase eBooks and pirate them will never be your customer Those who have pirated eBooks, have never been the customer. That is, they never existed for you Piracy does not equal theft. Theft is - You have a book, someone steals the book, and boom! you don't have that physical book Piracy is - You have a book, someone makes a copy of that book and boom! you STILL have that book Piracy gives good publicity If people genuinely like a book, they WILL buy it If you call eBook sharing - piracy, then what about the good old tradition of "borrowing books"? Wasn't that robbing the author? Similarly, people using the public libraries are the biggest robbers. So many read the same book, but none of them have paid the author

I am in 3rd year engineering and have not bought any books yet in 3 years. Main reason being I like studying from internet and always find free books which are otherwise very costly.
