I can't see the sense in having it both ways!  The absurdity arises because the original author/publisher of the works are not being adversely impacted by Nabu's activities, so why are they complaining? Do they just not like the idea of someone else profiting from their work? But don't we all profit, directly or indirectly, from the good ideas/inventions of the past??  BHL have more of a reason to complain, but why is Doug so motivated to alert BHL to this fact? Still, it isn't my problem ...

Are all Kiwis pirates, or just you? Arrr!
