The VtM Ross is doing with Henry Zebrowski rn is also very good

- quoted. I don't like not being able to afford books. I don't like living in an area with an underfunded library system. If you think there's something inherently wrong with pirating a book and then paying for a copy later, then we just fundamentally disagree about what makes book piracy immoral.

First: I apologize. I didn't reply knowing it'd upset you.
Second: I was presenting my own experiences as a person who has pirated books and providing reasons why that were different than the ones presented in the post you -

Also, if I do end up pirating a book, it gets bookmarked in my notes app with a reminder to purchase a copy when I can afford to do so.

I have a decision tree:

I want to read a book
⬇️
I have no way to afford the book, it isn't at my local library, and the library can't borrow it from another library/purchase a copy
⬇️
I pirate the book.

Ergo, I very rarely pirate books.

i gotta say, it's been awhile since I've logged on and saw a new kind of discourse and been like "wow, that's a really novel, really stupid thing to be mad about"
so congrats on that!
