Through no fault of my own, I am unable to live that dream. I am unable to go out and work. Although disabled, I was denied Disability.
So I go out and find a way to get for free what your spending hard earned dollars for. And that bugs the living crap out of you. And thats why you cry theft, You feel like I'm stealing something of yours.
....
But every time you cry THEFT, or jack the price up beyond our means.
Your encouraging me to go do it some more.

I'm going to say it once more. You make any excuse you want, but that doesn't make it right, make it legal or just. I have nothing against you or your condition (whatever it is -- but clearly if you were denied disability someone thinks you may not be as disabled as you think), but that has nothing at all to do with my position.
If everyone used your logic as stated above then it would be perfectly okay for anyone that makes little money to steal food and shelter and transportation. Are you encouraging and supporting that as well. Do you steal from the grocery store as you alluded to above? or is is just ebooks you steal?
Regardless, it changes nothing. If you take something that doesn't belong to you, you are a thief whether it's a physical item, digital, or intellectual property.
