    Just reading it is already profitting from the written work. The author should have the freedom to decide whether they want monetary compensation for that or not. Isn’t this a free world? You should respect it when people decide to publish IP under permissive licenses. It’s their work. They can decide. Everyone who is against this and for piracy needs to have their moral compass checked by looking in the mirror. This is a free world, if you like it or not.

      Sure. And they’ll get paid by the person who chooses to buy it to release it, or by the library.
