/lit/ - Literature

Don't expect anything of this God-forsaken board. Not even if you have built up goodwill post after post will they part with something so freely given as a 'good luck'. Because this place is populated by the most niggardly curs in all of 4chan.
So, not as a representative of /lit/ or lawbros or anonymous, but only as myself: No matter how hard it seems or how anxious you are about whether you prepared enough, have faith in yourself and your abilities--because sometimes it is precisely this faith that is the deciding factor. In any case, you gain nothing if you doubt. as Pascal says
>If you gain, you gain all. If you lose, you lose nothing. Wager then, without hesitation.
Ganbate OP! I know you can do it.

Where does internet piracy land philosophically?
As a corporation or artist I would surely HAVE to be against it.
Yet as a consumer It's an absolute blessing allowing me access to content I would have never bothered to experience before (libgen).
How do you even frame or categorize such a thing?

Blessed

Anyone else get a genuine sense of comradery when you see flags from all over the world while torrenting?

Any self-respecting author would rather be read than fed. Pirate to your hears content and feel no guilt; it's the bastard publishers that are getting the lions share anyway, so fuck 'em!

And i'd do it again a thousand times over.

A fitting addition to animes legacy of autism. Do us proud.

You're a hero. thanks again.

Begone.

I pirate them of course, and then pardon my own actions by the logic that any true author would rather be read than fed. I also despise the publishing racket, but also hope they exloit me one day by publishing a book I write.

Yes, i've reached my own broad metaethical conclusions about morality. And these conclusions have normative implications.
I would say i reached a stable opinion ~18 months ago after 4 years of reading in adjacent topics. Though that study wasn't specifically directed towards the subject—it came more as a byproduct. It's not like i've solved ethics by any means, but at the moment it has convinced me enough to act on it without reservations.
also, ignore >>16251748 analytic moral philosophy is fine.

Do your duty anons, bump good threads when you find them.

Animeposters are, on average, the highest quality posters on this board.
