It doesn't matter WHAT label one uses. I just don't think books are a commodity like milk. If you like an author and want more of their work to be created....then there is a material difference between how you acquire the book and the benefit the author receives.
Mind you -- I too am a "ride along" in all kinds of ways. I've never paid for Calibre, is just one example. I fast forward through commercials on tv when I can is another.
But I don't care that much for Calibre....nor THAT much for network tv shows that I should feel bad should they go away.
Support the authors you care about....this shouldn't be a radical idea. Buy their book instead of checking it out at the library or borrowing it from a friend. If you CAN'T....then ride along on the support others are giving...and hope it's enough
