"Piracy" here is used in the context of books and all sorts of manuscripts.

r/books have three main arguments against it:

It is technically theft
It damages the author's job and income (as well as the publisher, illustrator...etc.)
Why go through the tedious path of pirating books when you can borrow the books from a library legally and for free.

What's your reply to those arguments? Are they satisfactory?

Well, release your god damn books DRM -free with localized prices on some service along the likes of Bandcamp.

It's pure, it's easy and God damn fair for both parties.

Yes, libraries are great.
