“There is one problem with the myth about pirates bringing literature to the masses:
street-level vendors tend to congregate in the same middle and upper-class neighborhoods

a cultural problem: “The same people who would never consider buying fake whisky
think nothing of buying a pirated book. There’s no respect for intellectual production
in this country.”
