Sure.
It appears you have acquired a copyrighted work in an illegal way.
Many Christians would see this as unethical.
It appears you did not do this intentionally.
What books are you currently reading?

First time I hear of this-my conscience is clear before God.
In my opinion, there shouldn't be a price tag on Bibles.

Books are not bibles are they ?

What are you inferring? You copy and paste large amounts from Got Questions and other sources-sometimes you give a link, sometimes you don't-what does that make you?

I completely agree there SHOULD not—but perhaps people are not morally obligated to make things free.
I will always offer anything I write free for sure.
The ministries I respect the most do this.

Brother-I don't appreciate where this is leading to-I am totally Internet illiterate, but since @civic wants to join in-my question to him is very simple-why copy and paste copious amounts from Got Questions and other sources and MOST of the time do not give credit where credit is due?
What does it make him?
My go to source is Utley-Robertson and Vincent.
I live in South Africa and don't have finances for a Logos Bible Software or anything of the sort-but I am not Bible illiterate.
Head knowledge is not the same as heart knowledge.
But thanks for the heads up.
And philosophizing about Scriptures WITHOUT obedience to the Imperatives is a barren faith-void of what really matters-speaking from experience.
Shalom Achi.

I always reference got ? In my posts so what’s your point ? Got ? Is not a paid site so as long as you reference them as your source it’s ok. Do you reference every post and your source material?

Free websites are generally considered free to duplicate.
I don't think any less of you brother.

Now sweat Johann, I believe there is a free edition of Logos Bible Software. I prefer to use the free e-Sword tool that does take donations if you wish to give. Out of TN USA I believe.

Is got? a reference link?
I said publically my go to source is Utley, Vincent and Robertson MOSTLY.
I don't spend much time here since I have received two warnings already.
Don't make me lose respect for you-I can easily go to all your posts where you didn't GIVE any reference at all-and I sometimes do the same.
But don't, publicly, make me out as a pirate "stealing" sources-get that?
If you don't appreciate my "tone" report me.

Thanks brother-I have e-Sword but can't afford the paid modules.
But what I have is enough.
There is also a free Word Bible software I use mainly for Hebrew and Greek.
For my own personal studies.

What to know about piracy
There's no single motivation for piracy — in fact, digital piracy has many philosophical underpinnings and root causes. A common refrain among pirates is that it's not really theft if you are simply making a digital copy. The original remains, so no one is harmed. That's a shallow argument, of course, because any unauthorized copy is a potential lost sale, which harms the copyright owner. Doing that on a massive scale can cause harm to the owner and reduce the incentive to create more content.Other pirates have endorsed the idea that all digital content should be free, and the act of piracy is helping to free it. This philosophy ignores the reality that content isn't free to create, and again, there's no incentive to produce more if it's not possible to recover one's investment and make a profit.
Of course, some pirates simply don't want to pay for content.
Regardless of motivation, theft and unauthorized copying of copyrighted content is illegal, with copyright owners protected by numerous laws. In the realm of music and sound recording, for example, United States Code Title 17 Sections 501 and 506 are federal statutes that authorize severe civil and criminal penalties for the unauthorized reproduction, distribution, rental, or digital transmission of copyrighted sound recordings. Other kinds of digital content have their own legal protection as well. Bypassing Digital Rights Management (DRM) software is a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/tech/what-is-piracy

2Ti 4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
2Ti 4:8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
