Comment on The economics of writing technical booksparent

I think this is a valuable post for those people here that love Z-library and think they should have access to these sorts of books for free.

Not paying for a book when you have the full ability to do so is just greed.

But there are also those who come from places where monthly wage is like $200, so they wouldn't be able to afford a $30 book even if they wanted to

Z-Library is a library, not a bookstore. If you want to own a book - buy it.

You could get a book from your local library (in some places, even digitally) - the author ends up getting peanuts for it anyway.
