I wonder if I spent all day, every day, for years, calling Graham Linehan - or the judge - a nonce and then, when I saw him in the street screamed it in his face and smashed his phone, would a judge find I had done no harassing?

And that's not even factoring in the age of his victim

I know I banged on about this yesterday and I know it pisses a lot of people off when I advocate for my career. But it's not just about the money. In the attention economy where everyone is fighting to get noticed by the algorithm, stealing a book actively pushes it down in the algorithm >
I do feel like people love to steal from authors more than they do from most other creatives. People tend to keep their heads down and have the decency to feel bad about pirating from musicians, but there are people almost proud of stealing the work from authors
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.

Pacino is amazing, I think James Caan is terrific, both of those roles just seem obviously well performed and then there’s a big cartoon cat

Gonna pull this out, since you added me to the "classism" thread.

People pirated from Skyla Dawn Cameron, who has talked about how much she's struggling this year. I'm pretty sure Skyla know how poor "poor" can be.

And you made a giant ass thread justifying stealing from people like her.
People in my social circles, myself included, are saving up scraps of money just for some groceries.

I don't think you get how poor "poor" can be.

I sniff glue gun paste, now my face is plastic (Plastic)
Having a gang bang to Jackson Five (That's right)
I'm a ratchet guy
Lost my wife, what a prat, goodbye
No (Bitch), don't talk to me
Unless it's an emergency
I gotta go, I gotta take a number three
That's a piss and a shit and a wank in a tree

If you want free or more affordable books, don't steal them - advocate for universal basic income so authors can write the damn things without having to work a day job 8-10 hours a day or subsist on Venmo money.

I can't remember who said it but on one of the episodes of @praxiscast.bsky.social a few weeks ago someone said "we need a Nebula for writers" as a joke, but that is seriously such a good idea

Writer may be the only job where you can work for 100+ hours and then charge $2.99 for what you produced and someone will call you greedy with a complete lack of self awareness because you aren't offering it for free on Kindle.

I know it is emotionally exhausting, but: if you can’t use a trial or a library, you can ASK US (for a review copy if you understandably don’t want authors to know why you’re really asking) and, if we can, we’re happy to help.

Just. Be a decent human being. Most of us are in the same boat as you.
I did a thread a few weeks ago of "authors link your stuff" & one of my author friends who is one emergency away from being homeless had a massive spike in downloads on Anna's Archive from people *who follow me* complaining about how they are poor & should be allowed to steal from other poor people
