@rechelon @jindra @whatanerd @hakan_geijer for example, most academics I know seem to not really care if someone pirates their texts, but that's also because they primarily get paid through a salary, rather than royalties

here the government also provides grants for people (especially young people) to write books, and I've never done it (there's a lot of bureaucracy involved) but many of my friends have, and they also generally don't really care if someone pirates their book afterwards because they got paid to produce the book to begin with, independently of its sales

I don't think either of those really apply to anarchist publishing, but they could indicate some directions we could go in
