    If you wrote a book, and I photocopied it from the library and redistributed copies to all my friends, you can’t be mad because nothing was taken from you.

    I don’t understand the downvotes. I’m justified in making copies and distributing those copies to my friends without paying the creator. Nothing was taken.

      Wrong, I could get mad, just wouldn’t call it theft because it’s not.

      I hope your friends like it enough to buy it if they get the chance uwu I’d be doing my best to provide a better product/service than the pirate alternative.
