Copyright in the US was established as a temporary monopoly that maxed out at 28 years.
Through borderline legal and over-the-line illegal lobbying activities by media conglomerates that was extended to life+70, a functionally indefinite period of 2 average human lifespans.
No discussion of the morality of piracy is accurate without acknowledging the behavior of media, including book, publishers successful perversion of US copyright law and the detrimental effects that came from that (one of which is more widespread piracy).
