Yeah, the concent of a megacorporation who owns the rights to a bunch of books shouldn't matter when freedom of information is on the line.

    These corporations absolutely are immortal thieves. But it is important to respect consent as well. The solution isn't to ignore consent, but to change the system to make the thieves obsolete or irrelevant. To find better ways to reward those who culturally enrich society outside of capitalist cycles of false scarcity.
