I can't argue with that. However there are restrictions. A library book can only be read so many times, whereas a pirated ebook is infinite, basically. There are time limits on how long you can have a library book, as opposed to pirated ebooks.
I would be interested in seeing the average amount of individuals who take out a library book and compare that to a number for a pirated ebook.
