It occurs to me that those two terms could also be used for people who think that they have a right to buy any book they wish for unreasonably low prices.
Books are a product like any other, and the producer is entirely within their rights to restrict availability and set whatever price they wish. The market will decide whether or not their decisions are economically sound, but there is no inherent "right" to be able to buy books for peanuts.
