Morally, no, because no goods or services are retained for your dollar paid because in both cases the goods were returned. However, according to the letter of the law, they are both theft because the intent was to defraud the market (or library). [/quote]
Forgot to tell you, the library manager told me it was okay to put it on my ipod. iPod and the libraries are working right now on getting the information able to download right from the site anyway. No I don't believe in wearing a dress that I pay for then returning it. However I paid for the services of the library. So that makes it okay.

I see this point, but in my head, my morals, I delete the content after I'm done with it. Not to get away from the law, but because it served it's purpose and now I'm back to them for more.
I think this whole conversation is kind of echoing. Yoav and j2x are never going to agree with ya'll. They like to "Converse" I think is how it all started with "conversations" with Yoav in the past. Hard headed and NOT objective at all. Whateves. Good luck bob!
