Is the torrenting it really illegal when you own the book already?
- tasnent 11y agoFor now.
- Crespyl 11y agoArguably, yes, since in bittorrent downloading content is directly tied to distribution of content. By torrenting a work you own in a different format, you are (potentially) also distributing that work to someone who doesn't already own a copy.
- Falcon9 11y agoI'd wager so since you own a book, not the content of the book. But the law is a funny thing.
- coldtea 11y agoYes it is. But illegal might be the wrong question. Is it unethical?
- soperj 11y agoI'd say no.
