  So the authors should work for free? That’s theft.

    It's not theft. If you took away the bike of the author, that's theft.

    The author will work for free if the boycott proceeds. This way his work can at least be seen.

    The author probably got paid an amount for writing the book and then hands all rights over to the publisher. The publisher then prints it forever and takes the income from that. This is a guess based on working with other publishers though. Individual companies may differ.

    No matter how much propaganda has told you otherwise, copyright violation is not theft. Theft involves a physical loss by the victim. After a theft, the victim no longer has the stolen property. Would you consider it theft if someone looked at your car, and built an exact copy 1,000 miles away? Of course not! You still have your car.
