Not so. We are talking about YOU stealing here.

Usually they do. Most receive royalties on a per copy sold basis.

To put it no your words: The author doesn't care if your economy is so
stuffed that your GDP and salaries are so low.
KD> Well, considering this, I can sleep quite
KD> well knowing that I break the law.
It always comes down to the same thing: If you can't afford it then do with
out! As it is I earn far below the average wage for Australia
KD> On the other hand, if I chosed to buy the stuff, I should have worked

KD> fair ?
KD> Stay tuned to...
