First, I was going to agree with your deleted post, but you removed it before I could Quote it.
Second, I'm using wrong as in not unethical. I think more people benefited from my actions than were hurt by them.
The library profited from the books, so they can expand their resources and the people in hospital waiting rooms have a much needed distraction to occupy their time.
On the negative, 5 or 6 authors may have lost a couple sales each.
In the abstract, the library will be using funds to purchase more books, possibly from the same authors or publishers and the authors may gain fans that they might not have had before.
To me, the good outweighs the bad. Others may disagree, but I'm fine with my decision.
