Just one point of view: I'm too poor to even buy food, but pirating books keeps me informed about current affairs and shit. It also enables me to stay alive because I still have access to my favourite authors, which makes me so happy and try to stay alive for one more release date.
Full disclosure: I've gone from a very good job to debilitating disability over 10 years in Europe. Also, before this, I bought hardback books of everything I liked. I'll do this again as soon as I can afford it. I'll always support authors as much as I can.
Sorry to hear that fellow lemmur! Let the arrrrrr books keep you company in these hard times!
No libraries where you live?
They have a debilitating disability.
Yes, besides living in a rural area with a shitty library that has only books online I read in middle school, I have agorophobia. So making the trek there isn't that simple.
Even the biggest university library's online books are not up to date. They take years to get translated, so instead of waiting for that (since I'm not sure whether I'll even be alive by then) I just read books in their original language as soon as they come out.
And stop making fun of disabled people.
I'm an avid reader. Books from authors I like here tend to take months to years to get translated and into a library. I read everything in English now because of that.
