Wow, I can't believe there are actually people arguing that they  
should be able to get the PDF for free.

By copying the PDF *without paying for it* you are depriving the  
author of their compensation. When you take money out of someone's  
wallet, that is *stealing*. You may try to equate it with other  
things (pirating, copyright infringement, whatever) if it makes you  
feel better but it doesn't change the fact that the author does NOT  
get paid when you copy their PDF unlawfully.

This *is* a black and white issue. No gray here.
