While I like the idea of authors making more money rather than less, I see no fundamental reason why they _should_ benefit from second hand sales. When I buy any given object <X>, use it for what I need it for, then sell it to someone else; the original producer does not make anything off that second sale. And that's normal/expected.
- torben-friis 4y agoMy point wasn’t that they should, my point is that if the only reason you’re buying physical is to avoid feeling guilty for pirating then used bookstores might not be the best choice. There is no effect to the author buying or not.
