I will not pirate
I refuse to buy from the publishers that are setting prices. I will get the book darknet and send a payment to the author directly. I have sent a message directly to the authors I read telling them why I am doing so and encouraging the authors to setup a direct distribution of their material cutting out the middlemen entirely.
More and more new authors are direct distributing, if some of the major authors get enough email saying we would buy from them directly we may just see a shift from the stranglehold the publishers have on what they think we should be reading.
