Individually pirating from authors when you can afford the book is indeed something to at least look on suspicion if not outright critique for the consequences of consuming a work and not paying for it in any way. Publishing is cutthroat and lack of sales, especially new in a series or authors career, is basically used as justification to ditch the author and ditch the book series… in every way one is consuming the authors work as a fan and also working against the author producing in the future.
At the very least why not become a reviewer, that way you can receive advanced copies and in return write a review to generate hype for the book?

Meanwhile all the authors and artists were shaming the individual pirates.
Deceived they were, by Sauron/Disney.
