From a moral standpoint I don't see anything wrong with downloading from the darknet if you've already bought the books in paper form (twice). The author has made her money off your purchase and isn't really losing anything if you want a digital copy of the book you've already purchased.Which is just my opinion of course

In that case, it should be no different than transferring old vinyl to CD.
If you've already paid than the darknet is really a graynet. I'm only saying gray on behalf of the publishers, because I would lose no sleep at all over backing up a copy I own. Also, I'd
never pay a pirate for the backup.
There are so many asinine laws and gimme gimme hostility from the publishers as it is, I just can't be bothered to care.
