Thanks and I welcome any additions people want. There are probably still lots of scenarios that are missing.

Absolutely.
What I meant is, axiom1 is the goal. If axiom1 is best served via reducing copyright infringement, then so be it. However, reducing copyright infringement (CI) is a tool, not a goal and since the relationship between CI and profit is unknown, reducing CI should not be a primary goal without specific reasons.

In fact, there is another choice: Not to buy. No one has to buy an illegal product. And another option is to bite the bullet and buy the printed book (and scan it if you really want the e-book version).

With illegal version, I mean a pirated version. I'll update the original post to reflect this.
Edit: I've added case B.2.2.2.3 and clarified B.2.2.2.1/2.
