True, she probably did mean free, but people do pay for downloaded material on occasion. She may, at this point, be desperate enough to pay!
I �ve been known to download and pay for books on my Kindle. Possibly I could have looked for book sites and stolen the books, but I don �t want to steal. I do download a lot of free books, but they are either provided as promotionals or are in the public domain. I don �t steal music either.
I know that people can and do steal; I �ve reported several myself on this site. But I prefer to assume that most people are ethical, at least most of the time. And if they aren �t, their deeds will catch up to them. |

@philipR I understand your point! but you should try to find another way to tell her what she �s doing is wrong.
I agree with you we shouldn �t "steal" or use copyright material without permission and would be better if we go to a bookstore and paid for it; That �s what we are supposed to do! BUT....
PS:"It �s better to treat others the way you would like to be treat"

To be honest, I don �t really care what anyone does nor do I have a stake in any publishing company. I just think if we want to promote ESLP as an honest, creative (non-profit) site for the EFL community, maybe we shouldn �t jump on the peer-to-peer, file-sharing, torrents bandwagon. I don �t mind if anyone does, but if they need help doing so, asking for it here seems like a bad idea, not to mention unethical.
I have nothing against the poster (just a victim of opportunity), nor do I want to offend anyone, but I was getting a bit fed up with these requests. Let�s reserve the forum for genuine English questions and other assistance.

The fact is:
I �m thinking of something else for that class tomorrow/today. (not stolen CDs)
I apreciated your advice. Suddenly, I missed my mother, phoned her and chat for long while with her. Thanks! |
