anyway, thank god that the online comrades have already scanned in a huge amount of textbooks, non-fiction books, popular fiction, and even keep up-to-date on the better magazines. There's gigabytes and gigabytes of the stuff out there. Just as with the ipod, the clueless yuppies can go off sucking on their pigopolist teet and be happy as clams. Everyone else will just steal.

What an incredibly depressing view of the world
I must be a "clueless yuppie", I guess, because I certainly don't steal books; I have too much respect for authors to do so (plus the fact I am an author myself, and I wouldn't like other people to steal from me). Nor do I buy them from Connect.
Oh well, back to the pigopolist teet.
