IMO, ideally, authors should offer digital copies of their books gratis-with-the-option-of-paying. Obviously, these copies shouldn't come with restrictions.
The upside of truly free books for everyone is so great that any alternative seems terrible.
- koolba 4y agoI’m not aware of any authors making any of these changes. It’s always the copyright holders of dead ones.

However, authors should not be required to do such a thing, but nobody should be prohibited from freely making copies (and modified versions, as long as they are not claimed to be the original version, and not replacing a copy that someone else has already made that does not want their copy replaced), even if the author does not do it by themself. If copyright laws are abolished, then this will be legally possible.
