2014). I think that it is unbelievably tragic that all of the effort put into writing and completing
all of these novels has been wasted.
My concern is that everything that the authors have worked for can now be accessed
quite effortlessly; people everywhere, who possess a laptop and an internet connection, can find
and read these books online and the authors, who worked unutterably hard to produce these
books get absolutely nothing. They don’t get paid for their work, and the publishing companies
who took a risk and decided to publish a book don’t get paid as much as they should’ve. This can
undoubtedly result in unmotivated writers who will not continue to write books when their books
are illegally accessed while they get no compensation. Thus, every reader should be informed
about this major issue that affects our brave authors in this day and age. Please stop downloading
books and start buying them, for you are reading something that took a whole lot of time and
effort to produce and you need to show your appreciation for it by paying money to enjoy it. It’s
not a difficult process to comprehend as everyone should attempt to show their appreciation for
other people’s works. That is how fairness will persist and authors will get compensated for their
immense efforts.
