>and by free shit, I mean the acres of free, unedited porn online, I mean fanfiction - some of which is excellent! But no creator can be compensated for - and I mean PIRATED BOOKS.
You know, the vast pirated archives that contained so much stuff that Facebook just downloaded it all from there because it would have cost too much to compensate the authors and get their permission.
This is known. It happens. On the radio today they said 3 million ppl in the UK alone pirate books. 3 million.>
