They weren´t just pirating overpriced books, they were pirating everything, including cheap books, and for a profit, pirate websites make a ton of money with advertising, but I totally understand if people on low income pirate things, the problem root however is that nobody should be low waged, it is not the writers fault.
Buying second hand books, just like borrowing them from the library, it is perfectly legal as you know. Nobody complaints about that, writers already got paid the first time.
Eliminating the low-waged is impossible in any form of capitalist society. Just as unemployment is. Money needs to circle from the high and low and back, and the problem is that it's not doing that enough. The needs and demands aren't free enough either, though I'm not one arguing for an entirely free market. Just more free than now.
Why would anybody work full time as a writer if their books are going to pirated and be given away for free afterwards?
