[quote]1. I own the Game of Thrones books (A Song of Fire and Ice series). Sometimes, I don't want to have to lug a book around. I'd rather be able to just read them from my phone/tablet. I go online, and download the ebooks, without paying of course. I use them only for my own benefit, and I do not share them with friends/family.[/quote] I see no issue here since the eBook version involved no specific development/creation for the format. [quote] 2. I love Fallout 3. Played for multiple hundreds of hours on my 360. I want to check out some mods, and various other options that the PC version allows. I download Fallout 3 for PC, without paying of course, and proceed to play through the entire game. Thoughts on these? Is it illegal or wrong for someone to do either of these? If so, why?[/quote] This on the other hand is piracy, as the PC version is not the same as the console version and is in effect an entirely different product. I have a feeling both would be considered illegal though.
