I see absolutely nothing wrong with pirating a book, just like any other true intellectual. Its similar but relate able situation is to that in universities. Lets say a student sits in on a class in which he has not registered to take. Implying that he has not paid to take the class. I have never met a professor who will kick a student out of a lecture, who was not registered. The reason being, is they the professors love to spread information.
I feel pirating a book is not actual theft mainly because the book could have been rented or read at a Library.

So may I suggest you work for free, too? I can rent a car like yours, why not just take yours instead? Why should you get paid when others don't? I really don't get why people are so greedy. If information is free, what about all the work, money, and effort that went into getting that information? Defending their "right" to take what they want regardless of how much it hurts others.
If you can get it at a library, then get it at a library and stay clean.
