I don't understand why you think that the publishing industry owes you anything. Is the right to ebooks some sort of right under natural law, or the constitution? You are actually angry that they are not providing you with what you think you rightfully deserve.
Regarding the Darknet, when you increase the quantity and availability of a particular good, you decrease the value of said good, whether this be a physical object or intellectual property. So yeah, you are screwing people.
Authors are invested in their work (education, time, sweat, emotional toll), as is the infrastructure by which books are distributed (agents, publishing houses, bookstores, ebookstores). This human and physical capitol needs to be financially compensated. It matters not whether the product is material or intellectual.
