Question
Is it legal to download ebooks with out paying for them? Or is it some type of piracy? I am asking because there are many websites that allows anyone to download as many ebooks as they want for free and from many different subjects.

(If I asked this question in the wrong section, please indicate me to the right section).


Answer
If the copyright holder allows for downloading for free you can.
Another possibility is if was written prior to 1900 it could be in the public domain.

Other no you can't take it free.
Its a federal crime same as you see at the begining of a dvd.

Current Events: U.S.
