-   [[Elinor Ostrom]]: "a resource arrangement that works in practice can work in theory"

-   This is how I read:
    -   pirate e-book
    -   if I enjoy it, support the author as directly as possible, e.g.
        -   buy physical book via: a) author; b) indie publisher; c) local bookstore
    -   give physical book away to: a) friend; b) [[infoshop]]; c) stranger
-   Apologies to society if this is not strictly legal / hegemonic.  But I feel it works well with regards to a balance of idea dissemination / author remuneration.
