I absolutely agree, and excuse me for not thinking about that. It was 
OK that you deleted my "illegal" message. The one thing in which i 
don't agree with you, is that i still think it's morally absolutely 
acceptable to download an e-copy of a book that i have BOUGHT and to 
use it only for convenient searching of the text. It is illegal, of 
course, as i told in my original message, so that no one will 
download it while thinking it's legal :) I wrote down my opinion 
about this in my previous post, and i didn't want to insult you (or 
anyone else, except our politicians :) because you have created a 
wonderful group, and i understand your point of view because you are 
a lawyer, you'd like to be a published writer, etc. I have another 
point of view, another opinion, that's all.
