regarding this particular book and author: Coelho did a self promo a while back pretending to be a hacker and published all his books for free. The stunt was to promote his newest book. So you can legally get alchemist for free from the author himself (many formats and languages if i remember correctly):

I found out about it from the book "Free (future of radical price)"
