The Guttenberg project is for public domain books only, though google seems to have a problem with determining what that is, despite specific guidelines.

As a writer and a publisher, it annoys me to no end when people think it's okay. Other publishers may not know about drinkmalk, but they will eventually. I sent an email to Bev Vincent, a friend of mine who's worked with Stephen King for various projects, so we'll see what happens.

Try not to be so ignorant about right and wrong.

Now now, don't think I pirate EVERYTHING I place my hands on. I agree that writers especially deserve to be paid but for some books that already past what I call their "Honeymoon" period or their period of release to at least 2 years and already have earned their main cash is it bad then? I pay for my Windows 7 OS and my iPod Apps (well Canabalt is an exception). SO don't be EA and such believing if you pirate one thing you pirate everything.

Many of those books that are out for 2 years still earn money for that author..

Er...isn't encouraging piracy against the TOS for the forums?

EDIT: Not pointed at the OP (I agree, Stanza is great).

Thing is, someone had to purchase the book anyway before the provider (NOT ME) puts up the book. So technically we still pay.

so..umm..how do I get my own PDFs on this thing?

I have some freebie books (free from the publisher themselves) i want to read; but their PDFs.
