i never really went into the cost of abook, some over $50 dollars. by that criteria of wealth it often means those on low incomes can not own a copy, if a reference book they may only read it in a library. (not outside one)
when my kids were young i had the full en Britannica, in book form and paid for, i even bout quite a few of the year book addenda. i also bought most of the classics for my kids (who refused to even look at them
) like mark, my vinyl collection along with my genuine cd collection ran into the thousands of items. i paid for them. now everytime i want to listen to one i have to (by law) pay for the right. books, i had a collecetion of about 2000 though i never read many of them most were too highbrow for me to get into. now if i download one as an ebook i have to pay; so please forgive me if i download any cd i deem fit (i don't download new stuff cos i don't like most of it. please forgive me if i download plaths poetry or anyone elses to read, i will never buy a poetry book unless it's a gift for someone. i will never put my name to someone elses work and will always credit them with their creations, i will never sell a poem, one of my own or someone elses, i will read poem, i will on occasion recite it to someone else, which illegal. i will put it on this site if i think it will be benificial in the bringing orf poetry to others.
i will never put a poem up or use a poem of an unpublished piece of poetry without permission, not even if i accredit it (i know to do so could hinder it being published). but i am a pirate and i will download anything that's being sold should i so wish to. not because it's easy but because it's what i think is morally right. i don't agree with the copyright laws as they stand. those that gain from them and fight change are greedy oligarchs (whatever that means ) and should be ashamed of their greed. jmo.
