Thanks for responding. "It's probably still a drop in the bucket, but at least she came away feeling like she did something, rather than sitting still." Valid point. This is just something that's always frustrated me as someone who creates work with value (to those who need it), but which is also easily copied. Since sometime in my mid-teens, I've consistently failed to understand the entitlement mentality that allows people to justify the behavior that compels authors and publishers to spend time and/or money combating the behavior. I suppose, ultimately, efforts like the one the nearly-pirated author made are the probably the most effective as they at least have a chance at educating people as to the effects of the actions they take. Doesn't make it less frustrating though
