>buy a book>read 10 pages>it sucks donkey dick
>>24826920Your local library allows free book rentals.Your global pirates allow free book downloads.
shouldn't have bought a shitty book then
You just described every single book in existence.
>>24826920>buy a book>put off reading it for a year>randomly pick it up one day and read>it's better than anything I did this past year>love literature again, hate myself for timewasting
>>24826920Just return it nigga. If you happen to have bought it from Amazon and are lucky, they'll refund you without you needing to return it at all (it's happened to me before).
>buy book>throw it on the pile>read /lit/>post threads about ginsberg and other fraudulent storiesyeahp. livin tha live
>>24826920Gotta stop reading furry gay porn anon.
>>24826920This can be solved with one simple trick.
>>24826934Support the local libraries; they buy the books with municipality tax dollars. Pirates steal revenue and de-incentivize authors. I don't see a reason why you shouldn't support a library outside of pure laziness and selfishness
>>24827170>modern authors are worth supportingshiggy diggy
>>24827151vidya is the only art form that is not dead
>>24827076Can someone explain this image to me?
>>24827170Don’t do this. Just go to goodwills and get great 60s sci fi books and litfic for a buck each.
>>24827332The author is clearly saying that specifically women are conformist and will accept art based on consensus and not aesthetic value, unlike men. Unfortunately for the author, the majority of everyone is retarded.
>>24827332I think it's something like this?
>>24827341>>24827339Okay I thought it was a combination of these things. Thank you.
>>24827170>Pirates steal revenue>Copying 0s and 1s is stealing
>>24826920haha OP I love froggo XD
>>24827170>>24827382These but unironically
>>24827382Pirating books can’t be theft because 1) no one is being deprived of their merchandise and 2) I download a lot more books than I would buy. My downloading a book is not a “lost sale” if it’s a book I never would have bought in the first place. And if I like it enough, I’ll buy a physical copy for my bookshelf.
>>24826920Yeah man. I have about 6 books lined up that I absolutely do not want to read
>>24828430>And if I like it enough, I’ll buy a physical copy for my bookshelfIn that case, why not check the book out at your local library (unless you live in a provincial town and your library is horribly underfunded) and buy it later? They even have ebooks now
>>24828483cause it takes forever and it's ass, not to mention it hardly has anything I'd be interested in reading. it's also an absolute pain in the ass to go to the library where I live.
>>24828483so I have a free pass to pirate if I live in a small town?
