So, a rough heuristic for determining naughtiness of downloading a particular item might be n= (br - tr) x ap where "n" is naughtiness, "br" is book ratio, or the degree to which a object accrues its value in virtue of its book aspect (on a scale yet to be specified), "tr" is tome ratio or the degree to which a object accrues its value in virtue of its tome aspect (on a scale yet to be specified) and "ap" is asking price for the item. There now - we can all work out just how naughty we have been, and more importantly, how naughty we would be if we were to nab that missing seventh volume in the series that we just can't get anywhere else.
There needs to be another variable added

n = (br - tr)ap - g

where g is geographic restriction annoyance factor, g = publisher of said tome annoyance factor/attempts to circumvent pt/c
