Most of us aren't, no. I daresay none of us are now.
However, MobileRead is
not a site that promotes this sort of extra-legal filesharing.
Sure, the intellectual property rights are discussed and and debated a great deal (and it's a lot of fun -- and usually interesting -- to do so

), and opinions on both sides are discussed and explored in detail. But for the most part, folks 'round here would prefer to see a situation develop where they can
legally purchase the books they want to e-read, and just giving up and getting stuff from the darknet, without regard for compensating the folks who actually
wrote the stuff, is a bit counterproductive to that goal.
