Kill a tree just so that you can feel morally correct and the author gets a 2¢ royalty? Naw, just pirate and don't feel bad since apparently that is what publishers want you to do[0]. Maybe buy the author a coffee if you ever run into them.
[0] based on their actions it sure seems like this is the case.

" As others have said, you seem shockingly unaware that trees are GROWN specifically for making paper. NO ONE is cutting down premium "old growth" forests to make paper.. Nice "virtue signal" on your part, too bad you did not spend 5 mins to learn where paper comes from first.
- B1FF_PSUVM 3y ago> Kill a tree You know that paper producers own land where they farm trees for pulp, right? It's not like they're making deserts out there randomly chopping down trees.
- ipaddr 3y agoThose forest they own came with trees that would be preserved if they didn't exist. They do make deserts out of forests when they clearcut. A lot of land is owned by others (governments, native tribes) and permits are used to extract the pulp
- dreamcompiler 3y agoTrees grown for paper pulp regrow quickly and are farmed. If you know of old-growth forests that have recently been clearcut for paper pulp, please cite a source.
