What do I do as a poor people?
answer is
get a audio book on CDs, so I can listen to my book on my commute to work. I even put them on my iPod, so other people can borrow them and don't have to wait for me.
Reading a book is a basic human right, although reading a hard covered book might be a luxury. Yes wearing Prada is a privilege, but wearing clothes is a right.
Whatever you say, I respect those who "steal" books to read, who steal food to survive, and who steal medicine to fight decease.
In terms of laws, you do realize you are violating the law by putting audio CD from library into your ipod, right?
