People from getting paid because he requested a free copy of a book from the publisher she works for, when he never would have bought the book in the first place if he could go to the library. 3/3

But it's not her fault he can't go to the library?

It's also not Chris's fault that he can't go to the library. She doesn't have to weigh in. And again, she isn't losing wages or salary because grad students are getting PDFs.

I mean, really directly, she will be losing income, right?

If I were able to access a library, I'd be requesting multiple B&B books bought - far more than I can afford to buy. But I'm not doing that, because I can't go to my local academic library.

There must be many of us who can't ask for books to be bought. I would think purchases are shrinking quite a bit. I don't think we should feel guilty or anything, but we surely can't feel a publisher owes us, because we can't get to the library.

I don’t think she or the publisher owe me anything, but I did object to being chastised for a common academic practice.

I can see that. I didn't personally read it as you being chastised so much as just as reminder of the structures we all rely on.

Why even say it though? She had no reason to pick Chris and say that. He's not a child, and we all understand that people deserve to be compensated for labour. But I'm not sure that you're getting that Chris has had to deal with over a day's worth of harassment over this.

Directed to him because of Caroline and others who have been thoroughly nasty and calling Chris a thief and raising objections to various moving goalposts of problems.
