Also some books I used to buy on print and so already paid money for back then, why should I pay for those twice ?

You're completely wrong, and your argument makes no sense. If you're downloading something you haven't bought then you're stealing the author's work, and all the mealy-mouth hair-splitting in the world wont change that fact.
It's not a difficult concept to grasp.
Edit: That sounds harsher than I meant, my apologies. But, I still don't think your argument holds water at all. Not buying a book isn't even remotely like downloading it off the darknet. I really don't understand why you're even asking the question.
