    I'm just wondering, what do all of you'll think about warez ebooks or warez on the whole?

    What's your point of view on it.


    To be perfectly honest, I have used the occassional warez ebook, its soo much more convinient then driving down to a bookstore and physically buying one. And besides that before buying a new book I tend to look at an ebook of it to make sure its what I want. Especially those "Adsense secret" books. Most of them have no real information so spending 200 $ on them is pointless.

    So what do you'll think?

    (P.S just to clarify if I do like a book or use a book, I generally do buy a hardcopy to be fair to the author)

    Warez books ruins the history:
    Without professional writers no one in the future will know of the past.

    How would you feel if your work was illegally sold? Being friends with two published authors and knowing that they would be better paid for their time working at McDonalds clouds my judgment.

    The bottom line is it is theft.

    Anyone and everyone involved in warez sites are purely thieves.

    Hate it when I find out that one of my download links show up on one of those sites.

    Whether you buy the book or not, you stole something first.
    Like going to a store and stealing an apple to see if it tastes good, then going back to the store and buying another apple.
