It does not indicate that you are only speaking about pirated books... this is because there is a word for such things. "pirated".

If you had meant "pirated" you should have said so instead of confusing the issue.
Also, added an extra option instead of lumping together pirates and lovers of classics.
I only wanted to go for the morally suspect ones.
I had phrased it "illegal" or something like that and it had been changed to "free" by a moderator.
I didn't want to use the term "pirated", because the MR regulations wouldn't allow someone to admit to that.

And I didn't want to focus on lover of classics, project Gutenberg and the likes.
I was interested in the legitimacy of the content, not the sideolading per se.
