: Re: If a book doesn't have DRM does that mean it is OK to give a copy to my friend to read? I downloaded a book that does not have DRM (Digital rights management), I did not have to pay anything

One ebook publisher, O'Reilly, explicitly states their rules in their terms and conditions, which are very different to the Google terms quoted above; which goes to prove that the answer to the original question depends on the terms under which you obtained the book.

You can legally lend, resell or give away your purchased O'Reilly ebook, as long as you don't retain a copy of it.

But if you've been given a copy illegally by someone, you cannot then legally lend, resell or give it away; it's still illegal.
