Do whatever it is that you do, but don't try to gain respect by justifying it.

Copyright infringement is still not theft (see other threads).
The argument that it is wrong just because it is illegal seems strange. With that reasoning if I had to choose between "buying 200000 paper copies of a book and illegally downloading one electronic copy of the book" and "doing nothing" the right thing would be "doing nothing". I do not think the publishers or author would be happy with me doing the right thing.
