“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?
I am intrigued to know how one finds oneself on an old post like this one. Are you sorting by old?
