I am breaking the law?
Not really sure, and I think I need to get clarification.
I am in the process of buying the rest of the Twilight saga. However, I have this impatience about me that makes me not want to wait for the delivery. In fact I was so impatient that I decided that although I have bought the book and it has not been delivered, I needed a copy.
I searched one of my favorite questionable sites and I found the e-book versions and downloaded them to my computer. I have now read 3/4 of the second book in the 4 book saga and have the other two waiting, just in case the delivery arrives after I go home this weekend. I just can't go back to CNY and not have reading material, my mother would KILL me.
So My question is, is it illegal to get the e-book copy, that is bound to my computer, and that I will never share with anyone else? Here is my theory, and it is very possibly wrong, but since I bought it already at full price, plus shipping, I should be entitled to reading it immediately. The funds aren't useful to me, and as I see it I own the book. Since I will not be sharing them with anyone, and I got it off what seems to be a legal site, then I should be ok? I have no clue. I don't know what this file sharing crap is, I just don't want to be attacked by our awesome government over stuff like this. I understand the music business being crazy over stuff like this, but i can't really see authors flipping over it. I guess I could understand if I didn't intend on buying it, but I did buy it and am just impatient. Guess I should just learn to be patient.

Patient -- that'll never happen. Reading is noble and good, no matter how you do it, and that justifies any means.
