Yeah you can easily pirate any book, or even just get them free at the library. This just fucks over the authors and people who want to buy their books legally. People don't buy books because they have to, they want to.

Yep, I could pirate all my books and audio books if I wanted. All it would do is fuck over the author tho.

As much as I hate audible it's the only legal choice I have for many of the books I listen to. Since basically every other legal option has out of the nearly 500 or so audio books I have less then 50 of them.

It's annoying.
