Because format-shifting is a pretty commonly held concept.
One can spend $50 to convert a paper version of Harry Potter to a legitimate e-book version or one can just download it because someone somewhere already invested that time and effort and just pulp the paper book. Same result: paper book gone, electronic version left in its place.
