I am talking about knowledge and information, not proprietary software, why would I want to steal someone elses garbage?

I use open source when i can because i like it, but i'll never use a pirated copy of windows just because MS makes me pay it

Any book about computer science that isn't open/free goes against free thought and freedom of information and therefore deserves to be pirated.

i think pirated content is only ok if you can't effort the price or if you don't want to support the content (and it has no network effect)

Try stealing a book physically at the store?

no

It's the same thing

This is simply false, an electronic copy does not cost anything to create, while a physical copy does.

Tldr; just say you're so poor or so bad u won't even try to pay for someone else's decent work. Remember those people have responsibilities to care of, and they took time to write book, software etc Then u steal it claiming it takes "absolutely nothing" to create?! Delusional.

The original of course requires a lot of effort and thought, I would happily donate to a writing that I appreciate and this allows me to donate an amount in proportion to how much I like it, it would mean more to me as an author to recieve a donation than forcing someone to pay for it, if you upload a book to the internet it immediately becomes optional to pay for it and computer scientists should know this.

I don't know why bots can't do that

Are u sure u even know what u are saying? Have tried authoring anything?

the author has no disadvantage of my pirated copy

I know of datascientists that authored books and gave free electronic copies to anyone that asked for them

So kind hearted. So will many author. The joy of reading their works alone is there. But still supporting them by paying the "little" they usually ask for shouldn't be debated.
