I'll go straight to the point:

  • Piracy is useful to bypass regional frontiers and access to censored content
  • Piracy is helpful to watch content without supporting it if you consider it not worth of it
  • Piracy might be helpful for content preservation and survival
  • Piracy is useful to ACTUALLY evaluate whether to spend money on some digital content or not
  • Piracy is sometimes the only way to actually own DRM-protected content

Actually you can. Kobo for example has a great selection of ebooks. Those books will still be drm protected tho.

That's fair, I didn't specify DRM-free. Still probably better than buying through Amazon.

But I'd prefer to use my own ebook reader.
