What if he can't afford the books, or lives in a country where those books are 'geographically restricted'? What if he downloads, reads, and then deletes the copies, is he doing anything less or more than if he were loaning from a library? What if he would have never bought the books in the first place, but through downloading he's been introduced to all kinds of culture that he might never have experienced before? Doesn't that far outweigh the wrongly perceived criminality of the download?
