I think lots of people would actually pay small amounts to the authors for books they really enjoyed.
I wonder if a popular author would care to make an experiment of this: set up a paypal account and ask people who read their books off the dark net to donate as much as they feel their work was worth. It would be interesting to see the results.
I have seen authors complain that they get maybe $1/book sold (I hope I remember correctly the amount) and that the publishers get the big cut. So actually donating the author $1 would be almost like buying the book.
