Just a hypothetical question ....
Here's the thing. Some of us believe that authors deserve to be paid for their work. We don't deprive authors of their livelihood because we aren't technically capable of stealing their books, but because we like to read, and so we like to reward authors for their hard work in writing the books that we read. It's a concept called "honesty".
