Forget ebooks. Who is standing on "firmer" moral ground: the person who lies to obtain something they're not entitled to have, or the person who steals to obtain the very same something they're not entitled to have?

I'll answer with another question: If you were talking to a publisher or author at a Q&A, would you be more comfortable telling them 'if your book is unavailable, I buy a copy from overseas' or 'if your book is unavailable, I pirate a copy'?
