What I don't understand is *who* these 'others' are? Clearly you do not mean the retailers, agents, publishers or authors. Do you mean pirates are 'stealing' from the disabled, poor or children?

Are you serious? So some politicians decide which authors (presumably those that are either left or right wing, depending on who is in government) get these funds? Sorry, I would rather decide directly who gets my money.
