And honestly -barring the legal aspect, there's NO difference between downloading something for free that's no longer being published and buying it from, let's say, a private seller on Amazon. In both cases you're getting something from a person that paid for the original product, and in both cases the originated company doesn't get a single cent of the money being made. If anything, it's better to put the books online for free, because it means private sellers won't make money off of Scholastic/LEGO by re-selling out-of-publication materials. Especially when you consider these sellers are charging $20 and more for the books.
