That's too bad. Is this loss of respect restricted to downloaders of illegal ebooks, or does it extend to any of the hundreds of little ethical flaws to which everyone I can think of (save one guy, but he died two thousand years ago) is subject? The little white lie when your mother asks if you've washed your hands before dinner. A bit of fudging on the timecard when I clock in a couple minutes late. Jaywalking across a street. Etc.
There must be precious few folks in the world for you to respect. After all, you can never tell what despicable perversions lurk in the heart of a jaywalker.
