Books for download

I shared a collection of downloadable books on eSnips featuring authors like Michael Crichton and J.K. Rowling. The post sparked a discussion with readers about the ethics and legality of accessing copyrighted material through unofficial digital repositories.

Anonymous 19 May 2006 1:38 pm: Then do u still think we shud support these?
S Anand 19 May 2006 5:35 pm: Doesn’t look like anyone’s earning any money out of it – so it may not be a matter of support. I guess at best we can choose not to download these.
Sai 19 May 2006 11:09 pm: Oops :). did not realize that angle. Had felt happy for having found a cool medium.
