I'm an college student, an English major to be exact. I'm probably going to be poor for a while. I don't claim to be moral about my pirating, I'm just being honest. I'm sure I'm in the minority of people who both pirate and have an a hardware reader. I also buy tons of books. My apartment is filled to the freaking brim with books. I just read 2-3 books a week. I don't strictly pirate by any means. The authors do deserve compensation, I'm just not acting very fairly and indeed only looking out for my own self interest. A dick move perhaps, but I really do enjoy this community and I hope I won't be outcast for my admission here.
