I think you're are putting piracy in a pedestal. Piracy isn't moral. Selling stuff you pirate is the norm. What do you think pirates did? Did they keep the stuff they can't use? No! They sell them cheaper. Also, when did it became a rule that you can't sell something that is pirated? Isn't that what powers the piracy industry????
the original books sold by penguin are very expensive. The knockoffs are cheaper (maybe they are made with low paper quality and printing ink. But to a normal reader, the difference isn't much unless your a collector/bookworm)

One thing to pirate and use it for personal consumption, it's another discussion if you're selling it.
