    If they had access to real books, they might learn the difference between then and than!

      If you’re going to make fun of someone’s grammar, first make sure that it is not you making the mistake.

      Alternatively: you could just not be a prick about it.

      I think they do intend “then”, i.e., first pirate the book and then buy a DRM locked copy you don’t intend to open to remain legal.

        It’s what I assumed. And it’s almost how I do it: buy the ebook from a source that I know has easily removed DRM and then remove it before copying it to my e-reader.

        I want to pay authors but I’m not willing to put up with DRM on something I’ve purchased. I’ll tolerate it on things I’m renting/borrowing although that’s no harder to remove.
