WRITER: Hello! I work very hard to craft diverting art and entertainment projects that I offer for sale; I do this so I can afford things like food and electricity.
THIS FUCKIN GUY: Oh my GOD can you not simply divest yourself of the wage-justifying paradigm, you are so cringe

Anybody who is like “Piracy is activism!”—trust me, supporting your local library is about 1000% more effective activism, and it’s still free for you and authors still get paid!

REMINDER: if you think your right-on lefty/socialist/communist/etc. politics justifies pirating books, well guess what? Most writers don't make a living wage from their books or writing work, and stealing from them makes you a class traitor.

Anyway, here's a long thread I did last year on out-of-print work, copyright, death of the author, etc, because I do have experience in this area.
"At least Skyla is done with discourse, surely she can't have more to say--"
NOPE, NOT DONE YET, HOLD ON AND LET ME GET MY COFFEE.
I'm taking this sentiment at face value and trust it's meant in earnest: "Copyright should end upon the death of the author and then the book goes into public domain."
