In this article I was more amused by the definition of "above 35" as older women. I am not there yet, but I will be 35 in several months, and I cannot consider myself a granny type. I am more like 8 year old in my mind ;)
As for piracy... I do it. I spend what I can on books, and I look for legal ways to acquire books first, but sometimes, they don't work - if I need something in Russian, in most cases the easiest way is get it from a "not quite legal" online library. In many cases there are no legal versions at all, in some, well... if it is there, I might as well save it on my comp.
I do get annoyed when people start act as if it is their natural right to read everything for free, and as if the authors owe them for reading their books.
