Abstractly speaking, of course.
Once again, my point is the fact that, if the e-book is illegally obtained, it is not your right to have. For any reason.

This is a reach. So let me get this straight...
The author decides to not release a product...and someone ELSE has deprived them?!?!
You have hurt their "potential" earning? There is NO POTENTIAL without a product!
That is like me saying "If I cannot get everybody in the world to buy my product, it is not worth getting ANYBODY in the world to buy it, so I shall not produce it and ITS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!"
What?!
There is no business but government taxation that has a guaranteed income.
This is what I was referring to before when I mentioned dishonest debate
