Scanned relativity books on the internet

Different cultures and societies have different beliefs and values.In summary, There is a forum link to a website where old scanned relativity books can be found. However, this may be considered illegal depending on copyright laws, although copyrights do eventually expire and the work can then be freely copied. Additionally, there is a Usenet group for e-books if one has access.

Not necessarily. Copyrights do expire eventually. At that point the work is considered "public domain" and may be freely copied. However, in practice it is very difficult to determine if a particular copyright has expired.

While legalities of a sovereign state are absolute, the morals and ethics from which they are derived are completely relative.
