Not *completely* true. Some of us do care about writers and publishers, but in the case of paper books, both have already been paid for the legal copies that end up in used book stores and the
First Sale Doctrine (in the United States) means they both lose control of change of ownership. All of us want a bargain, whether it's a discounted new book or a used book.
