Context for this was a slimy site republishing scifi authors' works lying that they had permissions from the authors and hiding behind Clownflare.
I'm all in favor of 🏴☠️ if you're honest that that's what you're doing so visitors can choose if that's how they want to get stuff they can't or won't buy, but lying that you're legitimate and affiliated with authors when you're not while you exploit their works is not cool.
