      And like, sure legally that author would have the right to say "you cant nhave my book for free, please stop messaging me". They Absolutely do.

      I absolutely don't care though? Single mother, three kids all at home because school is cancelled, still having to go to work all day, sure, download some fucking books for your kids. Buy them each a tablet and download fifty books for each even.

      Okay, cool Considering most authors aren't rich and also their books aren't actually medicine or food, as much as book lovers like to poetically describe them as such, you can't cry foul at them for not wanting to make it easy

      You know a lot of the writers flipping out about this have disclosed how they're living hand to mouth, they're afraid their careers will go down the toilet because of the virus, and people are reacting to this with "Get a real job" snottiness

      Yeah, sure, and they can certainly join the queue to do something meaningful about that, I'm right there with them.

      If you literally don't care that someone did work that you benefited from and you did nothing to compensate them for it then what can I say to convince you? There's no point I don't know how to convince people who think we don't owe things to other people that we do

      Likewise, I dunno how to convince you that, if the option is not compensating an author and your child sitting alone in an empty house all day, or not compensating an author and your child having something to read, I'll tell people to take the latter and not feel shame about it.

      So it's the price discrimination argument, right, pay what you can? Okay, you personally know what you can and can't afford, and know for a fact that you will never be able to pay for the book so the author didn't lose a sale Fine A lot of authors might even be ok with that

      That's not the same as IA deciding to just make everything free for unlimited lending They don't do any means testing on the people who log in at their site, they don't know who's downloading what

      The waitlist is supposed to be the filter between people who CAN'T pay and people who just DON'T WANT to pay Authors lose nothing from accommodating the former, if they accommodate the latter they have no income at all

      Chuck Wendig isn't talking about suing you out of house and home because you torrented a PDF of his book, he's mad about IA opening the floodgates to everyone on the Internet getting to read it and setting a precedent that this is totally legal and ok
