I do the same. And I rip the DRM off my Kindle books. I&#x27;m not putting them on a torrent site, but I&#x27;ll send one to my girlfriend if I think she&#x27;d like it, because well, that&#x27;s how you treat books.<p>If Amazon cares enough to try to shut down the decryption with better technology, I&#x27;ll stop buying Kindle books and I guess we&#x27;ll both be a little bit poorer for it. That&#x27;s their call though. I&#x27;ll worry about it when I have to.<p>I don&#x27;t generally pirate things. I can&#x27;t say I never do, but it&#x27;s very rare, and I don&#x27;t believe I&#x27;m in the right for doing so. But with ebooks, I&#x27;m paying Amazon for the book, and while I recognize the truth is that content creators and publishers have the right control distribution of their work, in practice I&#x27;m only willing to recognize those rights when they&#x27;re not wholly unreasonable. HBO wanting me to pay for Game of Thrones is reasonable. Wanting to charge me as a commercial broadcaster if I have a watch party at my house isn&#x27;t, and I feel like my treatment of ebooks is morally fine. It&#x27;s an arbitrary line, I recognize, but it&#x27;s one I&#x27;m currently fine with.
