I write a book, put it out on the market. Someone copies it and puts it up on a website (crime alert). Someone like you publicises it. I don't get paid because from your point of view, it is out there free for the taking. Meanwhile, I have lost hundreds or thousands of potential sales from people who may have paid, but have now been tempted to join your illegal caper. Everyone revels in the very public theft.
Which is why I seek out comments like yours that glorify piracy and tell them to bugger out of _my_ life. They are most welcome to their lives as long as they don't adversely affect mine.
