In most countries downloading a book is not illegal. What might be illegal is to distribute copyrighted material. I say "might" because often distributing is not even illegal. Sending to friends and family without making money is usually not illegal. And how do you determine "friends"?

This exact lawsuit took place in Canada where the supreme court ruruled that you don't necessarily need to know someone to "lend" to them. They cited public libraries as an example of where books and video s are lent out free of charge and the librarian and the borrower are not "friends". https://www.iposgoode.ca/2012/07/the-pentalogy-the-supreme-court-clarifies-canadas-copyright-law-in-five-major-decision/ https://www.iposgoode.ca/2012/07/the-pentalogy-the-supreme-c...
