Why buy an ebook then? Just buy the physical if you want, and pirate it.
Dont pay for your own hope that you can pick the lock of your own paid for jail cell.

Then I have a physical book to deal with.
Just leave it laying around somewhere. It makes you look erudite.
Or like I have a hoarding problem.
In the old days, we used to cart boxes of books down to the used book store in exchange for credit, and then load back up with more reading to bring home.

You might just give it to the public library.
Or, you might find the author online and see if they have some sort of donation mechanism set up. It's very common these days for a lot of professionals, but some authors are old school.
Donate it to a library so other people can know about it.
Giving the physical book away kinda defeats the spirit of buy + pirate.

The horror!
Many people live in small apartments. The footprint of a single physical book may be negligible but five hundred books can become a logistical nightmare.
That's what they said they would do. They would buy the physical book and then pirate an ebook copy that's been de-DRMed.
