Use your second amendment rights to arm yourself and protect yourself against a tyrannical government!… No, not like that 🤨

I’m so discouraged by a conversation happening on ‪@dylanjosephwrites‬ channel that it’s dampening my motivation to write. I just don’t know what to think.

Several people are saying that pirating books is a good thing if people don’t have access to them such as not being able to afford them or not having access to Libby or libraries that can get them. I think you can see why this promotion of stealing books from authors is distressing me but I’m being told that my stance means I don’t want poor people to be able to read.

I want there to be a good solution but I also don’t think I can be okay with the entitlement of people just taking books with no compensation to the author.

I do my best to make my books available as much as possible. They are only $5 and under, they are in Libby, and I have sent copies to people who message me about being located somewhere they can’t access them.

Still, I spend a lot of time and effort on these books and I’m pretty poor myself. It feels very violating to have my work taken without permission. I never even put DRM on them before but I am now based only on this comment section.

AITA? Is there a win-win solution here? I truly want to hear perspectives on this issue.

Black Sails is on Netflix! I highly recommend it. It is a prequel to treasure Island, and they did an amazing job with keeping it accurate to the story and accurate to the age of piracy that they were in. I am working on a treasure Island related project right now and so I am diving into all sorts of pirate research.
