Most, if not all of these books are definitely not free. Any downloads
for
them are likely illegal.
Besides, these myriad “free e-book” sites seem to be fakes built
entirely
to get people to increase their pagerank (and possibly ad revenue, if
you think people click on ads at sites that annoy them).

Indeed. According to the Peruvian economist Hernando de Soto, this
general lack of property rights is one of the main limitations to
economic growth in the region.

There are so many great and truly free Ruby ebooks available, there’s
really no need to shaft the authors that have taken the time and
effort to go through the paper publishing process.

Your integrity is your most valuable possession,
and the best part is that no one can take it from you.
To loose it, you must give it away.

Thank you for being so up-front with the fact that you cannot be
trusted. It’s so hard to know who you can trust these days; it’s nice
when someone just comes right out and announces in a public forum that
they are unethical and should not be trusted.

The entertainment industry is slowly but surely learning that lesson.
EA, for example, is not publishing games in Brazil anymore.

Actually, that is not what it is about (free vs. paid). It’s, well, no
notion of ethically correct, or even acceptable or understandable
behavior.
There is, in fact, no sense of guilt connected to copyright
infringement. Not even in nations that should know better, and where
infringement is prosecuted, like the US or Germany.
Well, I have faith that karma will balance the equation. Always does.

Yet. Even China is tightening up on intellectual property. And that
country is way more important than any Latin American country.

It hurts countries internally, too. Without effective property rights,
it’s very hard for people to raise capital (as you can’t use assets as
collateral). And without an efficient capital market, two things
happen. First, economic progress is slowed dramatically, as no one
wants to invest. Second, much of the economy moves underground, which
in the long term builds crime and hinders mobility. de Soto’s book is
a fascinating read.

Pablo,
It’s amusing that the thread you referenced involves “Honest” members
of Users Group receiving free books from the publisher in trade for
providing reviews. I have no reason to be angry about that.
You see, there are benefits to having integrity.
Good luck to you.

Yep. And there is no easy way out of that vicious circle, either.
