But all those people aren't publishers. The publishers are the ones owed money by Libgen, and the publishers can eat my shorts. The translators, editors, layouters, illustrators, printers and binders already got paid their wage/comission by the publishers. And besides, printers and binders aren't making digital books, so bringing them into the conversation is bad faith nonsense.
They're not fictional, they're mythical. Here's the difference between reality, fiction, and myth: Fiction is made out of the rearranged parts of reality. Myth is made out of fiction that people thought was important. And reality is made out of myth that people took too literally.
Ooh, now Deadlock shares two character names with Titanfall: Battle Royale
That's ass. People just wanna read. Words are free to copy.
My overall point is that Putin's actions are having the consequence of expanding NATO and the American Empire. Putin isn't opposing western imperialism, he's making it stronger. Russia is the number 1 recruiter for NATO
No, not equally. One more molecule of CO2 increases the risk. If you're going to use that logic, then I might as well drunk drive everywhere because there's already cars on the road and therefore potential for an accident. It's poison logic.
It's the kind of pro russian imperialism bullshit where I make fun of Putin, call Russia stans NPCs, point out that Russia's pointless war is only making the US stronger, and celebrate the fact that Ukraine is stomping Russia's pathetic ass. Does that clear things up for you?
Walking drunk is safer than taking a cab unless the cab is electric. When you walk drunk, you risk your own life and maybe one other person. When you take a fossil cab, you risk everyone's lives forever.
This makes more sense when you realise that the author has only reached the cognitive development of an 11 year old
Rowling is a hack.
You left your SI in the link
They can pay the workers using the gigantic piles of money they have lying around from decades of exploiting customers and workers. And in fact, they already did, because the books Libgen is pirating already exist. You think Pearson is leaving wages unpaid until they hit a sales quota? No way, those books already got made and the workers already got paid. Some of those books are decades old, and Libgen is the only place you can get them aside from rare booksellers and libraries, and the court still awarded damages to a company that no longer even sells the product. It's crooked.
