I would never enjoy things when I knew the creator should be compensated and was not and I don't think that I'm entitled to things regardless of my income. If you haven't done so read Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment".

Understand that you're not only taking a couple of cents from the creator you're leeching off of the people that are paying for the books as well. Too many parasites and the host dies. I might have been a parasite in my mother's womb and for the first 18 years of my life but I've tried to grow and be a self sustaining entity.
