alt Hacker NewsUh.... Anna's Archive is the one that is hurting authors, publishers, book sellers and even libraries by helping people steal access. When some author says, "I can't afford to write another book", Anna's Archive has effectively burned it before it was even written!
You're downvoted, but correct. And I challenge anyone to dispute this. I'm sick and tired of people trying to justify piracy. If you want to read a book – the product of someone's hard work – pay for it (fairly).
That said, I also support Anna's Archive. We need access to books.
