I have no reason to pirate. There are already lots of great books available at terms I find acceptable and I am willing to support them with my money.
I support ebook authors who sell their books DRM-free and at a reasonable price.
If a book is priced too high (IMO) or DRM-crippled, I simply do not buy it. There are also plenty of alternative means of acquiring great books at a reasonable cost, including used book sales.
I think stealing -- which is what I consider "piracy" -- is simply lazy and abhorrent.
