I've said it before but it's always worth repeating: pirating books makes a person a class traitor

Y'know it sure feels to me like that sub shouldn't exist, considering its raison d'etre is the promotion of illegal activities ::grumble::

Only thing I'm gonna say about it is that best and favorite do not need to be synonymous and you literally never need justify the love in your heart to randos on the internet

The sham statement from the Trump WH is disgusting on so many levels, but -
I just keep thinking they KNOW their targets are going to get threatened, and they already know what happened to former Congresswoman Giffords.
Kudos to Kelly's statement. Let's make sure we're yelling about this too.

Sen. Mark Kelly has released a statement.
"If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won't work. I've given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies..."

If you're planning on shopping during black Friday or cyber Monday, why not consider supporting artists, writers, creators? Buy a book, purchase an indie video game, commission an art piece, gift someone a Patreon. Your support means everything.

There's just something particularly infuriating about the mind-boggling selfishness of the "I want to be able to do a bad thing and I don't want to be called out for it, in fact I want to be praised for it as though I were doing something noble" attitude.

I was trying to do a thread on essentially this but my brain is overheated today and this says it both better and way more succinctly than I was managing.
Bigger than this, I think people should be more skeptical of online leftism that says, "Actually, under capitalism I don't owe other people anything." Oh, your communal philosophy says you can be interpersonally vicious and steal from other people? How convenient!
Always worth taking a moment to remind you if you’re pirating authors’ book you’re a shitty person. You can rail that our profession isn’t a profession all you want. You can paint yourself as an online revolutionary liberating ideas. It’s all bullshit.
You’re just a shitty person who hates writers.

Right? Like, solve for capitalism first, and then things will be free, instead of screwing over the folks who are also just trying to get by.
People who pirate books: “I just think art and literature should be FREE to everyone!”
Yes, I too would love to live in a world where art is accessible freely to all and yet artists are paid a living wage, but as this magical wagical pixie wixie land does not exist, please don’t steal from us.

I can't say what I hope happens to the people behind this site without it getting me into trouble with BlueSky moderation.
Anna's Archive has stolen people's work and then has the audacity to ask for donations.

This is the thing. They KNOW it's wrong. They KNOW they're doing a crappy thing. But they don't want to have to deal with the bad fee-fees they get when they're called thieves, so they have to rationalize it in a way that makes them feel morally superior.

And honestly with the number of free books available at any point now, there is very little defense I want to hear from people these days.
You can sign up for deal newsletters and get offered 500 free books a day.
Just admit you want what you want when you want it & don't care about anyone else.

If you have internet access, you will literally never run out of reading material. Just between public domain works and AO3 alone, ffs.
