      This is what I’m planning to do with some textbooks I want for my work.

      $200-$300 and you want me to download an app that may or may not even work in 10 years?

      Nah, I’m gonna future proof my access no remorse 🏴‍☠️

      I will pay though, because it’s tax deductible, and also because it I ever get questioned on it (since I use them around coworkers and management), I’m golden.

      This is the answer to everything ain’t it? You probably neve purchased a book in your life and just came here proudly to say this.

          You people are delusional to not understand that intellectual property is the fundamental basis of our world economy, and also your job. Elliminate all IP you’ll get an iPhone that’s priced at $20. What is your recommendation for a communistic society where nobody will get rewarded for creativity and ingeneuity? How would that work exactly? I’m listening.
