Another question to ask is does anyone think it is okay to pay for a book and then be deprived of its use, most likely because of drm? This has happened to me with ebooks.
People can argue ethics and morality for hours regarding this subject. I think it is far more pragmatic to realize that piracy occurs, it is easy, and to understand why books are pirated. And also to realize that people get books for free at the library, and many do not understand why this is not wrong but piracy is.
