It's not pirated books,it's borrowed knowledge.
A student in need of 3 and 4 technical ( mechanical,medical etc) books a year when each costs from 100$ to 300$ some, cannot afford them.So you borrow a fellow student's book or a library copy and photocopy it.Is this piracy?

If in order to pass a class I have to read a crappy,idiot,ultra expensive book or ebook, a title that the professor demands you to know, why should I pay 250$ for the sh!+ ? And for a title that on my own I would never read,not the less to pay for it.
I photocopy pages I need.Many others do the same.And no I don't buy second hand books, I hate them.A book is a very personal item and I want it new, when I choose to buy it.

To the publishers: "Go.... you know the rest"

In p2p you find mainly comics and outadated editions of technical books.You have to photocopy the latest from a friend.
I never read comics,it would be an insult for me if I would,comics are such a waste of time,worst than porn magazines.Neither ridiculous novels.The same goes for style,gossip,fashion magazines and books.Only people with low I.Q. and low dignity read these worthless paper-wasting abominations.
