Have you asked the author of the book - not Rainer Grimm - if he is 
happy for people to make unlicensed copies of his book, and encourage 
others to download such copies?  I'd be very surprised to hear that - 
just as none of the professional musicians I know are at all happy to 
have people make unlicensed copies of their music.

Have you the faintest idea how hard it is for people to make a living by 
giving courses?  Or concerts?  Baring a few of the most famous 
performers, musicians rarely much profit from concerts.

And regardless of how much you, in your complete ignorance, think people 
make from books, courses, or anything else - it is not /your/ place to 
decide that this author should not be getting paid fairly for his book.
