    “what non piracy reasons are there”

    “If you have nothing to hide then what’s the problem with putting a camera in the bathroom. What non crime reasons could there be?”

    You’re being silly. This wouldn’t inconvenience any legitimate buyer. And pirated material is in epub format already or can easily be converted to it.

      I have a very old Kindle that’s still kicking. No reason to replace it if it still works right? I’m concerned that borrowing books from the library uses this delivery system and therefore might not be able to deliver to my Kindle. Ironically, piracy might be the only option to still use my working and not otherwise obsolete device.

        I didn’t contradict anything I wrote. What do you care about books if you can’t even read?
