I have no moral inhibitions. But I care about quality. So when I'm interested in a book, I try to purchase it. Disappointing enough, even legally purchased books sometimes are of horrible quality, especially concerning metadata - but sometimes formatting as well. And on the other hand, sometimes books from the dark net are simply phantastic. But still my rule of thumb is:
If I want, I buy it.
If I can't get it legally, but want to read it, I try to get it elsewhere.
Perfect example: Lord of the Rings. Had them as scanned PDFs, bought them as soon as they've been available. Harry Potter still isn't available...
