I think piracy is not good because if you are an author of that book you feel what we called stole your book. For example you write a story, you publish it and one day it
is pirated and doesn't earn a profit for that thing. Piracy is the major issue in our
country, many filmakers are out in business even in software there is a piracy. I read in a magazine it says "we all pay the price"

I have the complete collection of the Harry Potter series, all original. In fact, I got the last 3 book on hardbound and I got it all on the first day of release. For these kinds of books, I don't like pirated ones. There might be a chance that the pirated one may not have the complete story or something.

I got the last book on first day. Actually I started late. When I started the fifth book was already out there.

What's a pirated book? My books are all original, I guess. I bought all of them except Sorcerer's Stone the very first day/night they came out. SS I bought when it was already out for a while. Regardless, I always paid for mine. I don't even get how you would have a pirated book unless you illegally downloaded audio books.
I don't think piracy is good, but it's such a broad category. I never quite understood it. What if you friend burns a CD for you? Is that piracy? If so, should we arrest everyone in America?

I also don't get the hang of piracy i.e. what is piracy and what is not. But when you publish a book without the author's permission, it IS piracy.
