If you do not get the right to make a copy through legal means then copying it is wrong. Case closed, no discussion, it is cut and dried - if it is not legal to do something and you do it then it is wrong.
Ghosthawk, regardless of whether you think it is fair, or it is your right, or because you can't afford it, or for whatever reason you use to justify your action it is still wrong. Using your justification we can all do whatever we want to simply because we can think of a, to us, logical reason. I did not make enough money last year to afford a 60 inch flat screen tv, but I really want one so I'm just going to take one. How is that even remotely "not wrong"?
Yes, books are not flat panel televisions, nor are they famous paintings but they are still a good that someone spent time and effort in the creation of and deserves compensation for the use of.
