Absolutely. I was trying to say in that post was that in most* cases, piracy wouldn't be possible had not someone first stripped the DRM and uploaded the book somewhere for that purpose. But yes, the person who downloads an illegal copy of a book is just as much a pirate just as the person who uploads the book.
That being said, I still have no problem with people stripping DRM for their own personal use.

Naturally, if a book never contained DRM in the first place, or if a paper copy was scanned in order to pirate it, that doesn't apply.
