If you solicit for an electronic copy on a pirate board, you are asking for a copy that has been produced without the permission of the authors, and for which the authors are not paid.
I realize that many people believe that the purchase of a book ought to include, in this day and age, an electronic copy, and even think that point of view has some merit...but that's not the reality of how books are being sold this week.
