      With this reasoning, I could get out of any complex contract just by mocking its complexity.

      And even with contracts there are outs for extraordinary circumstances or if the contract is unjust.

      If you want something and the other person offers unfair terms, the ethical alternative -speaking of luxury goods and entertainment, here- is finding something else. Not stealing the thing "because the contract was unfair".

      It's the sheer thirsty entitlement here that's so off putting The simultaneous insistence that these books are precious, incredibly valuable, people will die without them And that the people who MADE THOSE BOOKS are lazy greedy little shits who've been paid enough

      That's the whole "idea landlord" thing, like the author of a book just stumbled upon the concept in the ether and put a fence around it but didn't *make* anything, just *discovered* it

      I used to talk like that back in college, the whole poetic nonsense about writing ("I didn't create these characters, I discovered them, I sat down and listened to what they had to say") As an old bitter man now, I think this is just mostly bilge

      Like it's so interesting the dual way trolls approach this Either you're a talentless hack whose book is worthless so stop whining Or your book is a precious resource people need like oxygen and you're killing them by withholding it

      I mean, it doesn't matter If the book sucks then you don't need access to it, and if the book is awesome then I'm awesome for writing it and you should pay me Either way, you should shut the fuck up

      This whole kind of conversation is EXACTLY what they call "alienation" of labor, like the value of the book is a separate thing from the value of the work it took to write it It isn't, they're directly proportionate, they're the same thing

      The attempt to separate use value to the consumer and labor value to the producer is where Marx thought the exploitation of capitalism all started "Leftists" should be embarrassed to find themselves talking this way

          "Your WORK may be important but YOU aren't important and you don't get to make decisions about your work just because you're the one doing it" is where all the bad shit starts

          Isn't the issue simply property vs possession? The first being something like a previously distributed film or a hotel, the latter being my unpublished work or the house I actually live in.

          Apologies but I'm confused how any amount of labor=charging any amount doesn't simple defend latenstage greed by capitalists like Bezos for initial efforts.
