This is the question I asked:
My question revovles around the e-books you are offereing. On the Aximsite forum a number of us question the abilty you have to offer such titles as the "lord of the rings" and "Harry Potter" series for so little cost. Are not these copyrighted? Seems hard to belive the authors would agree to let you sale them for such a small royalty. It would set our minds at ease if you could reassure us of the legitimacy of these offers. Thanks.
This is the answer I recieved (Pretty quick to ):
Dear Marty,
PocketGear.com trusts its developers that the software being uploaded is their own property. Thank you for showing me this case, I will get in touch with these developers and ask them about their software being sold on our website.
Best Regards,

So it appears that Pocket Gear is a "Facilitator" or a go between for developers and suppliers of software and content such as E-books. Soooooooooooo the question is the legality of the situation. Are we moraly or legaly in a situation that puts us in jepordy????? What are our obligations to verify the validity of an offer if we recieve the product in good faith? Interesting situation don't you think?
If I recieve additional information I will pass it on.....However I have full confidience in a site like BAEN.
Have a lovely night and Merry Christmas.
