Obtaining without paying is a very poor test of whether it was legal/illegal, or even right/wrong.
Quite so - I wasn't trying for a precise definition. What I meant was, where we might say "pirating" a copy, we would instead say "snarfing" a copy.

Getting a copy from the library is called "borrowing" (so long as you use your library card, otherwise it's called "stealing").
