> why should we deprive the poorest from accessing culture
Because "culture" isn't something that anyone is entitled to. It's not a human right. And because if you, joak, want to help provide culture to the poor, then you can personally spend your own time and effort producing a work of culture.
Taking a work of effort made by someone else, and giving it away for free, when that person did not consent, is theft. It has nothing to do with the "marginal cost of ebooks" - it's the fact that you don't have the right to someone else's work.
Again - if you want to provide culture to the poorest, then you can either (1) purchase a work of art from an author and give it to an individual, or (2) you can invest your own effort into creating your own work of culture.
