My ebooks and audiobooks (from Tor Books, Head of Zeus, McSweeneys, Beacon, Verso and others) are for sale all over the net, but I sell 'em too, and when you buy 'em from me, I earn twice as much and you get books with no DRM and no license "agreements."

Pluralistic: There’s no such thing as “shareholder supremacy” (18 Sep 2024) – Pluralistic: Daily links from Cory Doctorow

in reply to Cory Doctorow • • •Guzinta. Why that term popped into my head, I'm not sure.
How much can you steal and keep the shareholders happy short-term while you take your share of the swag and run. Long term, who cares? You've got your own super yacht and island in the Pacific.
At least until a climate changed super-typhoon swamps both.
That's another flip side. How much can you take out of the environment before it takes it out of you?
Carry on, good article. (still choking on forest fire smoke occasionally)
