So you think publishers only deserve to get paid for the first copy, and then all of humanity should be free to replicate and distribute their work for no cost?

It's intellectual property, and duplicating it is piracy. Do I judge pirates? No, they're taking risks, and that's their own prerogative.

I am all for available and affordable resources, but expecting a book someone else wrote for free is a bit ridiculous.
