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
No, honestly, when people are justifying this shit by saying they're meeting a deep need and everything they do is within the bounds of a legal understanding that all IP is our "collective heritage" it's perfectly fair to say "You don't actually need it and it's actually mine"

It's one thing to not be an asshole to individual people But if someone is fucking you over en masse and justifying it based on lofty principle it's time to talk about other principles

I've literally been ripped off by someone using my credit card when I was younger and rather than make a big thing of it I was like "Okay, I can afford it, it's not that big a deal, and he probably needed the money more than me"
