If you are planning to buy a used book, is there any reason not to pirate the ebook beyond a love of books?

ebooks support drm-plantforms

(no)

<:woah:333623269674713098>

If it's something I intend to enjoy I buy the book. If I'm only going to be reading once it's an ebook

I'm a cheap kike but I would pay like half the price of a physical version for an ebook to support the author, fucking everyone makes it like 5-10% cheaper tho so fuck you.

Then again, I could just track the fucker down and mail him a check.

So I really don't plan to support the author.

Lul

>checks

Pls no

It's no longer the 90s

but he cant bounce wire transfers

<:woah:333623269674713098>

And people on gunbroker are paranoid nutters who dont take paypal and dont want checks bouncing so short of cash postal money order it is.

Oh, fucking gun stuff.

Oh right. I forget John's a criminal

Then again paypal does tend to randomly ban people who do things like that.

PayPal is shit

How can multiple people @ me instead of johnfrum

They are shit but have a monopoly on shit. Short of wire transfer there arent many options left that are guaranteed by some accountable body.

Wrong john

Oh hi john

If I @john and hit tab you're first. Alphabadically.
