Come to think of it, my pension is largely invested in the Standard & Poor 500, which I believe to include some of these big publishers. So a tiny amount of the money you owe is owed not to authors, but to me. And while I have the necessities of life, and even more, I am no millionaire.
Fine, you caught me ... I steal indiscriminately.
