What is fair?? Buying an ereader for 75 dollars that is manufactured by someone who was paid 1 dollar for its manufacture? No, I don't think that is fair. The executives and all those along the chain must be compensated of course... Should all wages be levelled? Is not the internet the great leveller?

YES

Perhaps some do not realize yet.

I have been reading whatever I wish to for over a year now, and have compensated a very low percentage of creators. But how can I stop reading??

Do you believe in Karma?
