What we care ? Your case is fictive. The *infringee* loses a virtual income
(=no income) and the *infringers* , for most of the time, gets no
additionnal income at all (he/she just reads the stuff online instead of
reading it in a bookstore at the library).

My opinion is the *infringee* is often an idiot that  has the possibility to
arrange with potential infringers to propose his product as a cheap download
and transform a virtual income (that could be a virtual deficit giving
distribution costs)  into an easy benefit.

Well, you shouldn't download newsgroups in that case. Also refrain from
reading books from a library, doing
 tachiyomi, singing  outside of your bathroom any song you hear on the radio
(especially stuff like *happy birthday to you*),
 and doing  anything equivalent >>>theft<<<<. Also, if you take anybody or
their belongings in photo, don't forget to pay them, they desserve as much
as any other top model.

And you still won't be honnest, as many coyrighted stuff that you buy
contain material borrowed from others.

As you've read that post, please transfer 2 cents to my account.

>Until then, you are being a criminal.

Because I express an opinion on a NG ? You have no idea whether I actually
download copyrighted stuff or not.

A number of editors are doing what I suggest. The others, those that want
their potential customers to be jailed as dangerous thieves, they are seeing
their business disappearing. Your *criminals*  being most of their
customers.
There are studies that show that the stores that let the people read stuff
for free sell much more that those that don't.
There used to be old bookstores that looked like pharmacy and where you had
to ask books that were behind the counter. Strangely, I no longer see them.
