You have a very low regard for the work that goes into writing a book if you think that $10 is a "ridiculous" price for a book. What can you buy for $10? A couple of cups of coffee at Starbucks? A rather cheap takeaway pizza? Don't you think that a book is worth as much as either of those things?

Folks who pirate don't always do so because they can pay but choose not to; they might be doing It because they can no longer pay the over-priced cost due to a change In their financial circumstances.

Utterly irrelevant. "I can't afford it" does not equate to "... so it's fine if I just take it anyway without paying".
