“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.
