It is a good question to ask, are we entitled to download a product that we already own in hard copy. The moral question is would it considered stealing. On the against side, someone has to take the time to upload it to a website and manage it at a cost. How are they compensated for their time. But as a matter of morality, I agree that is is not immoral or unethical to download it. You already own it and transforming it into a digital copy. You can go through the trouble of scanning it yourself but if it is readily available there is no reason you should not be allowed to do so. Consider it a backup of what you already have. You are allowed to make copies of almost anything as long as it is for your own use and not sold or transferred.

In my opinion, it is perfectly ethical to do so.
