Harry,
I would have to side with JSwolf on this one. While I would never pay for pirated goods, I would not think twice about buying the pbooks
and then downloading the ebooks via darknet. I think that following all rules blindly is stupid and can be dangerous (see the third Reich) and everybody should use his/ her own sense of morality -as long as you don't harm others. If you are poor and can not afford books and also don't have access to a library but can download ebooks in a school/ university/ whatever, why shouldn't you? Now if you have the money but still don't pay, that is wrong in my opinion.
When I was a student I could not afford books and thus pirated them. Now I work and can afford them. Quite a few of the books I pirated earlier, I have bought by now and gave away as gifts...
Don't want to start a flame war, just my 2 cents
