| People rationalize it by saying "I've got the hard copies on pre-order" or "I wasn't going to buy it anyway so they haven't lost a customer".
I believe that it's still wrong to download illegal PDFs for two reasons:
1. It's against the law.
2. I don't agree that the "ends justify the means". In other words, I don't care what the outcome is in a discussion on ethics, I believe that wrong behavior is still wrong, no matter if "no one is hurt" or the "outcome is for the best". That said, I know that's my opinion, and that why society has laws...see #1.
