I already answered this question. Lending a book is physically limited to one book and copying is limited to that one book and the supplies needed to reproduce it. Digital piracy is not. Whereas a physical book only loses the author one sale for every person who handles the book, copying that book (especially digitally where there’s no physical cost for production either) is still wrong and takes away income from the author.

I didn’t miss the point of anything. Copying something without the creator’s permission, whether it’s done physically or digitally, is wrong and takes away income from the person that deserves to get it for creating it. If it was good enough for you to “share” it with others, why doesn’t the author deserve to get paid for it?

You entirely missed the point of the conversation you replied to.
