Reading about poker will make you a better player. But is this material legal? Most of these books are downloaded for free from the internet and this constitutes a copyright infringement. No revenue goes towards the author of the book for his efforts. Implementing laws is difficult due to country specific policies. If files are divided, one cannot copyright them and the proliferation of peering technology is only making matters worse. For example is Canada, sharing and distributing files is not illegal so long as you're not making money out of them. But for most of these torrents in the U.S. and U.K. relevant copyright laws are implemented. But for copyrighted material, you can do your bit by not downloading and circulating it for free and instead buying the material and this will give the writers the financial returns they deserve.
