it's not free. You've funded the library (who has to volume license the book) with your taxes.
There's a wide gap between "free" and "you've already paid for it, may as well consume it". I have to mention this because people in non-USA countries always talk about "free" healthcare, which isn't.
- mierz00 6y agoThis is something that gets repeated again and again. Yes. People in other countries get that healthcare isn’t actually free. Just that they don’t have to fork out any money at the moment they need it. I promise you, we’re aware that we pay a lot of taxes and those taxes fund things we go on to call free.
