I don't quite understand John.
Are you saying it's ok to steal the music because it isn't a "hard copy"?
I don't think you mean it that way but I do not make any distinction between a "hard Copy" vs a "Soft Copy"

We all agree it is ok to listen to songs on the radio. You can listen to the song a million times and don't pay for it. But someone does.

If a Book is posted online you can read it as many times as you want.
I am not sure how these e-books work. Do you have to pay for the books.

If so, do you think it would be ok for this guy to steal the book online and then pass around copies of it to all his friends?

I guess I just can't see the logic of saying it is ok to steal one thing and not another thing. And I don't understand anyone defending this guy for his crime.
