Are you doing "wrong"? That's for you to decide.
Are you breaking the law? Yes - at least where I live you are. There are countries where you wouldn't be. You (presumably) know what the law is where you live.

The question is: does the author deserves it
if nobody reads that book? Does she/he have to be paid just for the downloading of the illegal (in my country too) file?
Or it's more likely fair to pay an author for accessing his content, rather than just the publisher's container?
I downloaded a file, I still have it on my HD and nobody has ever read a single word from it.
What am I stealing? I can spend 4 years in jail for it...
