You serious ?....so, how does a books author get paid ? Fiction or non fiction. A journalist or photographer ? They should just do the work unpaid ? that's real people using real time....

Seriously....whatever you read...someone created that....and you dont think they should be compensated......or just not by you ?

I pay for a book.

If they're giving the book away for free, they shouldn't be angry that I tear out the ads first.
