library genesis exists, people. anna's archive, anyone?
digital drm is the one fucking thing they push onto us that we don't actually have to fucking deal with. thanks to our team of ~~rippers and crackers~~ people who hate this system.
leave amazon. leave netflix. leave whatever fucking streaming service you subscribe to, and stop being sensitive about rich people's money.
A lot of books money goes to not rich people though
if you can afford it, wire the author the 50 bucks or so for the book, and explain why you did it. most of them will be thrilled to get the full 50 for the book, i bet.
if you can't, well they wouldnt have gotten any money anyway.
Where the hell are you buying books that they cost 50 lol
Shhh he's a pirate, he has no concept of how much media costs.
brazil. they can cost 50-150 bucks or even more here, depending on the book. technical textbooks can be even more expensive.
