My paper library consists mainly of works before and the first half of the last century - so hardly any of these books have copyright protection.

So if I look on pirate sites and find a copy of it, and download it, then this action has nothing at all to do with any copyright infringement.
Sorry, but that is BS. You have stated before that somehow you were under investigation for ebooks with copyright being shared. If you are only reading books in the public domain, that would not have been an issue.

And if what you say here is true, why are you using pirate sites? These books would be on Project Gutenberg or one of the other sites that has public domain ebooks. Which includes the MobileRead library.
