I can see both sides to the coin, I understand that authors of any
given material via any medium and having found out that someone has
copied or made a scan of it, or illegally download it without the
written consent of the author and publisher can be like finding the YP
address and hacking into someone's PC, now that'd be a threat never to
forget, but I also see the other side that people with print reading
challenges have to gain access, and they come to organizations like
this one.
