Ever borrow a book from a library? Ever loan someone a book? By that rationale you're a thief as well. Human advancement comes with shared, free knowledge.

Brother Cutter isn't wrong! You can go learn some new shit at the library for free... and while this is kinda the same and I believe information should be available to all mankind for the small price of learning to read, I have to ask... What would META do if you sailed the seven seas and plundered their shit? I imagine they would demand their pound of flesh! I imagine they would demand satisfaction. I imagine they would demand the government intervene; and maybe even suggest that the military solve this problem for them.

These are E-Books with EULA's correct? Not the low-tech inferior bullshit paperback physical book's that we all legally shared in the past, which can be purchased at garage sales across the country for nearly free. No, Sir, these are the books that; when checked out of the library three or five times, have to be repurchased for hundreds of dollars unlike a physical book, because the payment required for knowledge is perpetual.
