I pirate almost every book, the only ones I actually buy are new ones from authors I love (Brandon Sanderson is the main one) or books I pirated that I loved enough to want to support the author

Honestly if you want to support an artist, dont buy their work. Steal their work and give them a donation. Otherwise you're mostly supporting the middle-men more than the artist.
