They are blatantly turning a blind eye to piracy on a grand scale. <br /><br />The thing about the "freedom of speech" argument that really pisses me off is how pirates claim their not being able to do what they want with my creativity is an impediment of their freedom of speech.Crystal Kauffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04279674658154552567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19956098.post-81994215149442598822010-01-16T18:54:11.498-05:002010-01-16T18:54:11.498-05:00Friends, here's an example on EBay of what I&#...Friends, here's an example on EBay of what I'm talking about.<br /><br />Look at what this "ebayer" is selling as his "private collection". He's been an active "ebayer" since 2007. Imagine how much money in listing fees EBay and PayPal have made from turning a blind eye to this seller.<br /><br />http://myworld.ebay.com/nltsdeals/<br /><br />Someone must have reported this, don't you think?RowenaBCherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14826977922522817547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19956098.post-6689356893817120582010-01-16T17:33:29.829-05:002010-01-16T17:33:29.829-05:00I don't think piracy has anything to do with i...I don't think piracy has anything to do with ignorance. It's a conscious decision to steal the same as if you walk into Borders and stuff a print book into your purse and walk out with it. Or in some cases, it's like stuffing a back pack full of them and then selling them.<br />We will never stop stealing as long as people with moral and ethical deficiencies exist. That said, it doesn't mean we should fight back.Susan Gourley/Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02669793865290876168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19956098.post-45636744153285224162010-01-16T12:28:10.315-05:002010-01-16T12:28:10.315-05:00Thank you for posting this.

They need a "story" and whether the story meets any sort of common sense test is something they don't want to consider. They know the answer, so they don't go there. There are probably a few innocent souls who buy "resell" rights in good faith, and perhaps these folks can be educated. The rest, they don't care. We need new laws. Consider contacting your political representatives.Carly Carsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18236823971323039071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19956098.post-2493204480019297882010-01-16T08:31:03.516-05:002010-01-16T08:31:03.516-05:00This is excellent--all you need to know about e-bo...This is excellent--all you need to know about e-book piracy in a nutshell.

This should surely clarify the situation to anyone out there who is unsure of the position regarding Ebooks or who thinks that downloading an Ebook cheaply, or for free, or purchasing a collection of Ebooks on CD is either lawful, or at worst a'victimless' crime. <br /><br />The 'victims' are actually the authors and publishers of these books, who are having their work stolen by these pirates, who don't seem to care about breaking the law.Hywela Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789711554354184386noreply@blogger.com
