While intent to pirate isn't an unreasonable possibility, it is certainly presumptuous to assume that is the OP's intent and lambast them without asking what their intent actually is.
And this is coming from a group of people who mostly strip DRM so they can put ebooks on different devices or different formats... thus reducing sales and "keeping the price of ebooks high." This is the same group of people who mostly think it's ok to DRM-strip and keep a library book if you bought it previously.
Please. Your nakedness is showing.

I don't strip DRM or abtain books illegally in any way. Not only is it morally wrong but you are contributing to high prices of books. I'm sure there are a ton of people here that do it but I'm not one of them and find it wrong that people think it's OK to take other people's work without paying for it.
In case people have not notices there are few authors making a good living writing and fewer publishers doing well publishing books. If you want to force higher prices and contribute to the further down turn of the publishing business keep pirating books.
Downloading legal torrents? Please. That's like saying, "I'm buying this bong to smoke tobacco".
