I am in two minds about all the scans on the net as there have been times that seeing the scan has made me go and buy the book - which I would not have otherwise done.
HOWEVER I wish all the people who post the scans would at least provide details for those of us who WANT to support our designers. To this end I have started a one women campaign to remind people that books that are in print should be bought. Whenever I see a scan of a book that I can find for sale online I am going to add the comment "Please support the designer by buying her book." I am not going to get dragged into a copyright war, I will simply add that comment (with perhaps a link to where on the net it is available for sale, or perhaps its ISBN so it can be more easily found) and hope that it will start to make a few more people realise that without the designers getting some financial recompense they will stop producing these wonderful books we now have. Would you like to do the same?
