hummm just my 2 cents I don’t believe in piracy just to get it for free. but after reading many of the posts on here i can see the other side of the coin. Yes some people can’t afford the books or their just not available in their country. For those people I can understand the reason.
I’ve been all over the world in the military i waded through blood. As a correctional officer at a very big prison i talked to some of the worst people ever born. Their excuse for their crimes was about the same as jatboy's life isn’t fair why should I care if i want it i just take it. While piracy maybe a gray area for many of you the reason you’re doing it is not. If you just want to feed you hunger for books and can’t afford to keep up but pay when you can i can see that as reasonable. If it’s not availed in your area i can agree with that. if their asking way too much for something that has little overhead compared to a tradition book understandable. But just because you believe it owed to you or that you don’t care is wrong. I’m not a great known author and my books at the moment while very popular have many grammar errors and thanks to my paying readers i can now afford a editor as well as other services.
if someone was to ask me for a copy i would gladly give it to them as long as their reasoning is valid. Heck I could chock it up as a beta reader. The same thing i offered someone who was looking for one of my books on here. That’s just my 2 cents, and like many opinions it is only worth the digital ink it’s written on.
