That's just one of the issues brought up in 'The Forever War' by Joe Haldeman. The Plot In this novel of galactic war, the alien menace is the Taurans. Jul 16, 2010 The Forever War by Joe Haldeman Reading Recommendations.

The solution for me would be easy. GO buy the book. Good now go find a torrent or rapidshare download and enjoy. Your conscious will be clear you will be morally 'in the green' so just go with it. Every single book I download and read I BUY. I have a bit of an addiction to having the actual paper books on hand.:-) I usually get them for around 50 cents to $3 on ebay and amazon. Reminds me time to search CL for some more of those neat book cases I have been finding.

I am out of shelf space again:-). Well good luck finding any books 'I WANT' in a regular books store.

Even amazon most of the time does not have them except used. They just don't make much 'hard sci fi' any more. That does not bother me (buying used) its lawful its moral. Point is IF YOU LAWFULLY POSSESS the book in a LAWFUL FORMAT there is no 'moral' issues with downloading the exact same thing in another format. It would be perfectly legal for you to sit at your computer with that purchased (new or used) book and TYPE OUT the book and put it on your reader. So I have no moral issue with downloading the book.

There is not ONE SINGLE THING iffy about this Pilotbob and your deceptive to use such words that way. Unless of course you think buying used books is iffy and potentially immoral?

What I won't do i pay $10 or $15 for a book ie the SAME price as the print book KNOWING the author gets not a PENNY more than he would from the PRINT version. Apne Baap Ka Na Samjho Maal Hd Video Song. IE the publisher gets all that massive increase in profit. And on top of that such books are STRIPPING me of my property rights via DRM. I am sorry I care more about 'my' PPR than I do about the book seller or even the authors profits. Please note 99% of the time this is NOT an author issue. In fact 99.99999% of the time it has NOTHING to do with the authors. They would gladly release it DRM FREE.

Its the publishers IE the middle men. The sooner we can rid ourselves of the middle men in IPR issues the sooner we can have SANE IPR laws.

Alas I was not around 15 20 40 years ago to 'buy' the books I tend to like in 'print' format. So used is the only way I can go most of the time.

I am too impatient to 'wait' for used so if something new comes out I go out immediately and buy it. Alas that happens rarely.

I stalk the book store isles quite a lot and there is hardly anything 'new' worth reading. In the last few years a few good things came out. The Flint series was great. The Triangle series was great. But I eat up a regular novel in 2 days tops 3 or 4 if I am really busy. Many times if I get one in the morning by 3 or 4 am the next morning I am done. So its to the used bins to find stuff I have not read yet.:-).

Well thats not hard sci-fi thats military sci-fi:-) and yeah most of does not really interest me either. Just finished Singularity Sky by Charles Stross and LOVED IT half way through Iron Sunrise now. Missle Gap was a good quick read.

Want to read a GREAT hard sci fi? Hal Clement - Mission of Gravity! Great great book.

Globetrotter Hsdpa Modem Driver Vista 32 Bit. It has a sequel that I read as well but I forgot its name. There was another I just read about alien life forming on a star fragment that was passing through out system. WOW good stuff!

THAT is hard sci fi:-). Hard sci-fi, to me anyway, means the author has tried to keep the science in the story fairly accurate. There may be aliens, faster than light ships, etc. In the story, but the rest of it is kept to scientific accuracies.

One of the big things that bothers me about certains types of science fiction, like the move 'Alien', is that it is more of a monster, or horror, movie placed in a science fiction setting. And it could be placed on Earth, without the sapceships, and it still works. 'The Thing' being one such story. Lg Android Driver Download For Windows 7. Hard sci-fi, with several fictional things added in. As for books, most I want are out of print. Some the author has died. Its almost impossible to find, other than as used, sf books written in the 1950s and 1960s.
