Download this Essay: A Defence of Stealing ebooks
Think 12 (34):109-115 (2013)
Abstract
In this essay, I argue, on the one hand, if we think egalitarian considerations justify libraries, we should think that these same egalitarian considerations justify stealing books online. If, on the other hand, we think that economic incentives justify a prohibition against stealing books online, we should think those same economic considerations justify a prohibition against libraries.Author's Profile
