And how many authors are going to think you are nice to them when you download their books and read them for free without any attempt to compensate them?

Here is a hint, laws that prohibit an activity are usually passed because that activity is perceived as being damaging to society. Now whether it is or it is not is up for debate, but a lot of people have been convinced that copying of someone else's work without compensation is damaging to society.
