Just to be clear, I’m not advocating it. But it seems to me that filling a pirate’s coffers is the least appealing of the options. Borrowing it from a library or doing without if you don’t want to pay are always good choices.
I don't disagree. I'm not going to knowingly buy a pirated book. I just don't care enough to go report all those bootleg Maltese Falcon copies to Amazon. There seems to be several bootleg copies of popular crime writers all over Amazon. Dashiell Hammet, Cornell Woolrich, Raymond Chandler. I'm sure others.
