Let's repeat: if you download an ebook (or a song, a movie or anything of the sort) your trespass isn't thief, it's copyright infringement. Which is very probably way less potentialy harmful to society that you "speeding a little".
I didn't say it was stealing. I was saying that just because I commit some crimes I don't have an ethical issue with doesn't mean I will commit any crime. When I shifted to talking about DRM stripping and downloading I switched to the talking about "respecting intellectual property". Why did I do this? I knew I would get a snarky comment like this otherwise. Seems it wasn't enough.
