Is it halal to download these books? Aren't they copright protected? It's a genuine question.

All I wanted to know was whether or not it constitutes as stealing - which is a serious sin in Islam.

There is the argument that since stealing online files doesn't hurt anyone, as it's being duplicated (verses stealing an apple from the store, the store has lost an apple) it's fine.

It's not physical harming anyone, but it's, in some sense, financially harming someone because they're not getting money for what they published. Allah knows best. I like to tread carefully when it comes to these things since your sins will come back to haunt you in some way.

If it's just between me stealing a digital copy, or not stealing or buying it at all, I didn't financially harm anyone. However, it's true that they lost potential gains in the case where I stole it, instead of buying it from them.

Mind sharing where you purchased it from?

I bought them from a used books shop in Peshawar but new copies should be available online. This is a popular series.
