#WritersCoffeeClub 10/16: "How do you feel about people reading your works without buying a personal copy?"
I guess the question is not about borrowing a book from a library, friend, or family member, but about e-book piracy? If so, I feel that the individual reader keen on pilfering a book for whatever reason is less of a problem than the whole mentality of undervaluing authors' and artists' work and wanting it for free that is apparent in very many things currently going wrong.
