Sharing is when you ask the person who wrote it for use of their work. Going behind their back to ask other people to pass it on is something else. I'm happy to share my own work...

Other people sharing my work with each other is even MORE amazing than sharing it myself! We should all be so lucky

With permission, it’s fantastic - without permission, it is no different from passing around knock-off items, in my opinion.

Yeah not wanting to pay for an overpriced academic book that the ones who wrote don’t even get royalties from is exactly like a knock-off Versace bag.

Wait, it kind of is in that I don’t have a problem with either and would never be able to pay full price for the real thing? This isn’t a bad simile

True enough. Designer items are overpriced and rely on sweatshops, the people who made them don’t get barely anything for them either and the only people who benefit are the rich people at the top. Hey you’re right, it’s very similar.

Okay. I don’t really know how to respond to this but clearly there is something broken if grad students can’t hope to afford books (many more are worth closer to €100/£100 in my field).

They often don’t, if someone isn’t attached to an institution, many of which aren’t if they are in between getting a job or a postdoc or what have you. I dread doing it myself.

All the more reason to not attack grad students for getting PDFs sounds like. Entire system is bad.
