: 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

It depends on a huge number of factors like, country of origin, your country's take on copyright, what kind of licensing the book had, etc. If you didn't have to pay for it, was the publisher intending to promote the book? What kind of license did it have - There's actually a number of different licenses for different kinds of works: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_license
I would check the publishing website itself, for they usually have some explanation for what you can do with the book.

DRM-free ebooks is usually intended for people who want to read their product on different platforms (usually for each person). It doesn't normally say anything about the copyright, copyleft or any kind of licensing/sharing - for that is up to the creator of the work.
