All good! I actually just bought a copy. My view on pirating books is, it's fine if you're not really sure if you want a book and you're just checking it out, then pirating isn't taking anything from the author.
But if I'm like "I REALLY want this" and have an alert set up for when someone uploads it, then it kind of is taking someing from them.
And then other calculations come into play as to how ethical it is to steal, I'm not always against it, like if the author's dead who cares.
But if they're alive and mid-career, then lower book sales means their publisher might not agree to publish their next book. And then like, if it's Gallery of Magick, they sell really well so one book doesn't matter much, but complex works directed at intermediate practitioners are really hard to get publishers to pick up, and they're operating on really thin profit margins.
(I'm not judging anyone else, just talking through my own personal maths on this stuff, based on my knowledge of the publishing industry. It's mainly out of self-interest, there's a real risk of publishers just giving up on publishing anything except books by tiktok witches if they can't make enough money back on it. As it is, authors write less and more slowly because very few of them can afford not to have a day job, so it's in my self interest for them to make more money)
