      Public libraries exist and they pay in a way the IA didn't so actually authors are already offering their books in a free way and they can still want to be paid for their labor.

      Tell that to any author struggling to make ends meet and who learns thousands of copies of their work has been pirated. It absolutely does have an impact and we lose authors to this all the time. It costs indie authors thousands to publish and stealing at any level is a loss.

      You don’t have to be just starting out. Most authors make less than 20K a year through writing. At $2 a book thousands af books stolen is literally a large portion of their yearly income.

      Whether they would or not does not entitle anyone to their products. What you are demanding is that we should have to work for free because people like you, judging by how fervently you are arguing, are entitled to our products.

      The argument over how much piracy actually affects livelihoods is plagued by obvious strawmen on both sides ("Every artist would be a millionaire if piracy didn't exist!" vs "Piracy never hurt anyone's career at all! Artists are richer than ever!")

      The thing is that people actually seriously defend the latter POV to a really shocking degree - to the point of saying that copyright is the *reason* more writers aren't able to make a living and if everyone embraced the Creative Commons philosophy they'd be thriving

      Whereas no one actually seriously defends the former POV that I can see Really the argument is that piracy doesn't make earning a living impossible but it raises the barrier to entry greatly There used to be a "middle class" of creators that doesn't exist anymore

      *Everyone* gets pirated at all levels of the ecosystem but the giant megacorporations - Disney and EA etc - have ways to survive this Indie randos just have to sigh and say "This is effectively free and I'm effectively living on tips no matter what I decide"

          Like whatever, fuck Disney's billions of dollars from Marvel movies I'm thinking more about indie film producers who are like "Hey if we get a good review that goes viral a few thousand people might rent our movie and we can pay off our credit card debt from the shoot"

          But instead the brief flurry of downloads during their 15 minutes of online fame is all free downloads shared illicitly on Vimeo or wherever and they get bupkis
