However I dare all the people here claiming that piracy is not their cup of tea beceause it's stealing.
Have you asked for each picture you ever made a written concent of the people in the background as you ARE breaking a law without it.
You never ask a friend to help you with Do-It-yourself chores as you are not hirering a professional.
Have you never borrowed some tools from a friendly neighbour instead of hirering or buying it yourself?

Don't pretend that with e-books the options are suddenly only black and white.

The problem with pirated books is that you never know if the story has not been altered/edited by someone else. How many Harry Potter books have been downloaded just to find out that it was not written by JK Rowling but by someone unknown (I have all HP's in English and translated versions)
Give me an e-library with all the books published from the past 30 years for a reasanoble price ($4 max) and I would hire/ buy without any trouble to find an obscure (OCR-ed) version.
