RE: Reading books for free — The ethics of piracy in poverty
I'm not even considering the possibility of buying the books since I don't have the money for it. It's a choice between reading it later (by waiting if I ever find an online library that has it available), reading it now (by pirating it) or not reading it, since I really don't have money to spare even for myself (there are a lot of needs I have that I can't afford to cover, so I have to prioritize).
But I do get your point. I'm going against the author's and/or publisher's legal wishes when I acquire and use their product without paying my fee.
Then get it from the library, don’t get me wrong I’m not judging you or anything. It’s just that if there are viable options before you can pirate the books then you should take them. Like getting it from the library, if not then you have no choice to pirate the books.
i'm with you!
