How are these situations any different than copyright infringement? The creator has not been compensated for these extra reads, that is the issue right? As long as the creator is compensated for each copy, we should be able to make as many copies as we like.
Any digital content with a price tag attached to it pre-consumption is going to end up on the light or dark net (brightness depends on personal view)
It's probably going to take awhile to get this all sorted out
