People trying to justify piracy was tired in 1997 and it's embarassing now.

It would be better if you just embrace the fact that you're unwilling to pay for creative effort and OK depriving creators of money - that isn't my ethos but it's at least honest and consistent.

Arguing that piracy doesn't hurt someone is trivially wrong, lazy, and self-centered.

This isn't even abandonware. If you don't want to buy the book, go to a library or read a publicly accessible blog, but piracy is bullshit full stop.
