I would be very happy if you found my work good enough to share with your family. I would find it unfair for you to pay twice for you and your daughter to read a book I would have written.

I have always shared some books with my family, and I continue to do so with ebooks. It also happened that I watched DVDs with my family or with friends. This is legal and this is totally reasonable use. And I am entitled to share and copy creative content with my family (close circle) by the law of my country as long as I do not break copy protection, which is why I do not buy DRMed goods.
