Tell an actor, musician, or software developer you refuse to pay for their hard work and are going to download it off a torrent somewhere and they'll tell you the same thing.
Your disrespect for people who create books, music, games and other forms of entertainment is disgusting. I bet you wouldn't want to work for free!

Count me as an actor, writer and musician who does not agree.
To clarify: I am NOT advocating piracy. Not at all.
But I see it as something very different than "stealing income".
I also kind of feel bad for torrents. Torrenting is a very useful technology that's getting a bad rap, especially since some of the larger selections of unauthorized ebook files are found not on torrents, but on subscription newsgroup servers.
