I know, right? I fall in that over-35 demographic and my children are 7 and 10

I don't download pirated ebooks, but I know plenty of women in my age group that do. I am a proud member of the "mix tape" generation.

And speaking for my age group, the people doing it know it's illegal. They sometimes justify it by saying that they only pirate books they'd otherwise not purchase (i.e. they do purchase books they consider keepers)--I have no way of evaluating their truthiness on that.
