For them downloading the stuff and reading it was like having a look into the book in a store and deciding that its not for them. If a friend asks me if he can look into my books to find out if he should buy them he simply gets my books and takes all the time he needs (well, as long as i don't need them). I don't even want to know what crap is on my hard drive that i don't even look at anymore. Server Manuals, CSS Guides..... frag them.34% say they didn't pirate anything. Great!17% pirated the stuff and bought the books! Good thing - the pdfs worked as a great  preview - getting 17% more people into buying the books.22% bought the books and pirated the pdfs. what the frag (yeah, i love BSG <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />) - they downloaded a pdf version of a thing they own. Booho.8% downloaded it, didn't buy it and live a life as evil, stealing pirates among our community!So out of the 100 - 8% are real evil pirates. Don't go and make it 1/3 - because thats not the case here. Intentions matter sometimes. Maybe not for some people here - but for my social conscience it does.</blockquote>
