We support authors by buying books, especially ebooks that we can own, preserve, and lend to one reader at a time. We want a better deal for authors because the license-only, streaming model doesn't work for creators or libraries: popula.com/2022/08/11/o...
If I walk into a used bookshop and buy a book, I can loan it to whoever I want with no repercussions. Same if someone gives me one as a gift, or if I pick one up when my local lidbary gets shut down and gives away their stock. No money to the copyright owner is required to change hands, all legal.
