Huh well is it stealing? I guess if it were paper then yeah it would be pretty obvious if you take it cause it isn't there any more. But computer book are just copies so there no nothing left if you take it cause its still there. So call it sharing, right? But maybe thats just to feel good like its not wrong. And old books that are the best really are free anyway with no copyright so downloading doesnt feel bad. You're right with what the authors want! With regard to sharing, and why they wrote it in the first place. Most of them anyway. There some authors of course who do it mainly for the bucks and some who while its not important live a life where they need it for food and rent and then I guess its stealing and bad. But the main money thing is the big companies that own the copy rights and yeah they pay the authors but squeeze that deal and really pay them just what they need to keep writing haha. They want to make money not by selling books and videos but by becoming part of your life that you need so you have to go to them to get what you want to entertain or inform and then they turn that into money because its info gathering and control. They share that data you know like with secret agreements. So is that stealing if they cant do that as well? Its weird because the karma doesn't seem to think so almost like it's okay but maybe not perhaps its more subtle and thats why so many new books and movies and tv shows are garbage haha.
