Hi, I've been avoiding this thread like the black plague but, as a blind person, I would answer your question as a maybe. If I lived in a country where I couldn't access books? Sure. I just might. I think reading is pretty important. I would find it hard to subject to a law that might keep me illiterate and ignorant.
I'm not saying its right, but sometimes such actions are necessary. luckily, I live in the U.S. and I have many more options for obtaining reading material within the boundaries of the law. If I didn't, I don't know.
