It’s really depressing to read the Yahoo questions from online members always asking how to get free ebooks, download free this, free that, music piracy without a care in the world that it’s thievery. They don’t think they should have to pay for anything. Has the internet with its down-loadable freeware mind-conditioned the current generation that stealing is OK, or do they even consider it stealing?
I wonder if they’ve ever mentally put themselves in the shoes of someone who has spent months, if not years, inventing, composing, writing a book, etc. only to have the rewards of their intensive labor casually stolen from them.
