It depends. Some authors encourage pirating of their books as widely as possible as a way of getting recognition. Some might even put them on torrent sites for others to download. Some are unsure but are not categorically against it. And of course, there will be others who see it as wrong. I guess that those authors who are already very popular and successful, see no need for pirating.
