[START OF RESOURCES]

Paying for books is silly. Why?
Because with a 15$ per year library card the authors won't be getting your money anyway.
Most books worth reading are illegal or are out of production,
and trying to find them for sale is a nightmare.
Usually any given book I am interested in purchasing is upwards of $400 because it is out of productioin and someone is scalping it.
Screw paying scalpers. Just download it.
If I find a book to be particularly profound or impactful then I will consider it to be actually worth my time and buy it.
In the event where a purchase would contribute to a dead author, the publishing company would just get the funds anyway.
If there were a way to wire funds directly to the family of the deceased author in exchange for the book then I would have no issues doing so.
If ownership is not an option then piracy is not theft.
