Do you only ever watch movies in the cinema when they first come out, or do you sometimes watch them later when they are on TV? Doesn't that make you just the same sort of skin-flint refusing to support art as those reading books from libraries?
Do you listen to music for free on the radio rather than buy every album the moment it comes out?
And I'm going to say it: Not every book is a work of art, the same as not every movie is a work of art, not every TV program is a work of art and not every five-year-old's drawing stuck to the side of a fridge is a work of art.
