Re: Memory stick containing 2000 books???

They came from a place called Torrent, and from the Netherlands. Not to me. I'm a writer! I wouldn't touch something like this with a ten foot pole. I was told about this from a person who designs software, sells it, and would scream bloodly murder if a thief stole their years and years of invention and work. 

I was putting it "out there" to find out information and to alert writers/authors, about this particular pirating activity source. 

I don't know what can be done to stop these people, but the ones who take advantage seem to think that they are doing no wrong. I hope they don't complain when I go to their place of employment and pick up their paychecks.
 
Best, E
