And just because a pricing model is not correct or just does not automatically give you liberty to circumvent that pricing model. If you think that Nike shoes are overpriced and hey, there's Chinese counterfeits readily available, does not automatically make the latter legal or even morally justified.

That's correct. The liberty to circumvent the pricing model and get the papers for free is not derived from the fact the pricing model is incorrect or unjust. Rather, it's derived from the fact the papers can be obtained for free. :)
