“Piracy” here is used in the context of books and all sorts of manuscripts.
r/books have three main arguments against it:
- It is technically theft
- It damages the author’s job and income (as well as the publisher, illustrator…etc.)
- Why go through the tedious path of pirating books when you can borrow the books from a library legally and for free.
What’s your reply to those arguments? Are they satisfactory?
Well, release your god damn books DRM -free with localized prices on some service along the likes of Bandcamp.
It’s pure, it’s easy and God damn fair for both parties.
Yes, libraries are great.
