I feel the term pirating books is pretty inaccurate, in the sense nobody is jumping to others boat in order to get other people stuff. The fact that very same PDF could be copied from 1 or N times in same machine and the original PDF would still be the same makes "pirating" far from the reality. I believe in the particular era we are all into we should be careful with the terminologies we employ for such things as copying a PDF book and give it to another. In any case I think: "Don't infringe author's copyright" is better. And I agree the list shouldn't be a channel for that. > Please don't pirate technical books anyway.

Not looking into some discussion, I though it was worth to mention this. Saludos, -- Fabián E.
