I read 1000+ books a year or try to. Books are like Netflix, in 10 minutes you already know this is not going anywhere. The author is obliged to keep me interested at least that amount even if the subject matter requires tediousness. These books are of course stolen, but I try to pay for worthy books if ever possible. It is also often lucrative to make books available for thieves, as proves "Fight Club" , the most pirated book ever.
So the suggested pay-back scheme is assbackwards. Simple solution would make the book free except last few chapters. This would end the need for book pirating totally.
- aspyct 6y agoWhere on earth do you find the time to read 1000+ books? What kind of books are you talking about?
- timonoko 6y agoUnderstand my message: "I try to". I steal 50 books from some Deep Repository in Russia and try to read them all. Takes about an hour if they all suck. And sometimes it becomes very expensive, recently I bought the whole catalog of one Swedish author from Amazon, because this cunning brat had uploaded only first books of his various trilogies to Pirate Bay.
- wayoverthecloud 6y agoWhat is the book if you don't mind sharing?
- timonoko 6y agoWell. This particular case was "Midvintermörker" by Lars Wilderäng. Clearly somebody is using Pirate Bay as marketing ploy. And it works. Not the greatest literature and Swedish is only my 4th best language, but it was important to know what happens when Sweden is under Zombie Attack.
