I need to say here that the topic of piracy is nuanced. For someone who has the privilege of living in an area with a well funded library, it is much more preferable for them to utilize that than piracy. Writers outside of a very select few get paid a lot less than people realize. Though I will say in areas where books aren't easily accessible by any legal means I am of the personal opinion that is an ethical duty to make human knowledge and culture easily accessible whether by building a library or other means.
