Some authors think libraries and Kindle Unlimited are stealing too.
It should be noted most of those authors are not well known nor will they ever be well known because their books are not that good by pretty much any reader's standards.
Most of those authors have an MSDS attitude or in prettier terms, "the greatest gift to writing ever".
