I agree when it is knowingly done, ie. copying a book and then selling said copy to others, giving it to twenty friends as a Christmas present, etc. However, in the DRM world, buying a book from a legal distributor and then converting it for use on a device that would not have been able to use the original format is also illegal (here in the US at least). Does that make the person a pirate?
