Sometimes, a wanted format just does not exist. I have many old hardbacks and paperbacks of which there is no ebook version to be had. Instead of typing it into the computer or scanning it myself, I download it if I can find a copy. The end result is the same although someone else did the work, for whatever reason.
And sometimes, I want something and the stores, authors or publishers refuse to sell it to me, just because I live in "the wrong location". Then they can get ****, and I'll find a copy on my own, which will probably be pirated and thus for free.
