      This is the answer to everything ain’t it? You probably neve purchased a book in your life and just came here proudly to say this.

        I purchase physical books, but I’d be fucking daft to purchase a REVOKABLE LICENSE to a book. That said, I have SO MANY digital books that I obtained for free.

          You can buy the ebooks from Kobo or the like and strip out the DRM using Calibre.

          Shitte practices by Amazon are no justification to let it all out on the authors. Amazon literally doesn’t care whatsoever if you don’t buy a book there. However, the author might need to feed their family dry bread today.

          You people are delusional to not understand that intellectual property is the fundamental basis of our world economy, and also your job. Elliminate all IP you’ll get an iPhone that’s priced at $20. What is your recommendation for a communistic society where nobody will get rewarded for creativity and ingeneuity? How would that work exactly? I’m listening.
