See, this is the kind of crap that made me leave the thread, and probably will leave it again. First, I didn't call the scanner a parasite. I said that those who
operate pirate sites, probably making a profit in the bargain, are
behaving as parasites. If the distinction was unclear in my previous post, I hope it is clear now. The uploaders, I suggested, probably range between those who do it out of good intentions--perhaps a kind of civil disobedience, but still breaking the law--to those who do it for misguided egoboo (
Hey, I cracked the latest bestseller and got it up before anyone else). I don't know where I would put those who uploaded my most recent novel, which I made available for free with a polite request that it not be reposted.
As for the rest of your post, I can only wonder, are you someone perhaps who engages in this uploading activity? If so, that might help explain the tenor of your accusations. If not, then I have no explanation.
