Mhm, not necessarily. It seems plausible to me that a person may have ideals of information accessibility and a neutral or unformed view of information ownership. Such a person might digitize and distribute the book with the belief they are performing a service, both to readers who prefer or cannot use a printed book, and to the original authors, who did not have the time or skill to produce a market-ready electronic version. I admit, such a person is likely a rare occurrence. And the scenario I describe makes the assumption that that person was operating under the belief that an electronic copy did not yet exist. Creativity's post implies this is not the case form them, but does not make it explicitly clear, which is precisely why I do not pass judgement.
