The second kind is the type who only ever downloads free books. They do it legitimately from legitimate sources and they hoover up vast numbers of books, most of which sit on their ereaders forever unread. I like these people too because some of them, if they ever do read the book, will write a review and perhaps even recommend it to those wonderful people who actually buy books.

The third kind are the thieving scumbags who illegally steal my books through sites that illegally distribute them. I thoroughly despise these creatures not just for what they do but for the pathetic moral pygmies they must be. However, I feel they have so little effect on my livelihood (they are not and never would be paying customers) that it isn't worth pursuing them. Not that I wouldn't gladly see them doing hard labour in one of the state's many gulags, I just know that, as you say, the seedy little world they inhabit has no economic influence on the real world of decent people.
