Would an act of piracy occur if I were to take the scanned ebook I obtained from the free bin and upload it to a free ebook distribution site?
Have a nice day!

all by the letter of the law are piracy.
the first I would ignore
the second a bit grey, I wouldnt do but doubt I would look down on somebody else for doing it
the last one is out and out piracy and I wouldnt do it or agree with anybody doing it.
But as I said by the letter of the law each is as evil as the other.
