Looks like Daniel Richards  _regrets_  that "most of the 'ebooks'  ...  have 
been scanned instead of 'cracked' ebooks".

Frankly, <Daniel Richards> did not surprise me. However, <Jon O .> did: 
after dozens of enthusiastic messages here, he had enough objectivity to 
look at the other side of the story.
In my previous life in the USSR I've seen various "movements", both just and 
unjust. I know how difficult it was (and sometimes how much integrity it 
took) not to be carried away and retain some objectivity and independence. I 
wonder how many more "activists" here are able honestly look at the other 
side.
