I used to pirate books. I quickly found out that they never carried any booze or booty, I couldn't keel-haul them, and I couldn't make them walk the plank. You can't bury 18 men on a dead man's chest when there ain't no chest. Takes all the dang fun out of it.
Of course, if one wants to be all ethical and legal and stuff... There's a whole heap of public domain books and library books.
Now if someone puts a gun to your head and says, "Download the latest Steven King novel from a torrent or you're dead.." But I rarely do that.
