On the other hand. If I told you that the book wasn't much good, and you decided against buying it. Did I rob JKR of her income?

The fact that my behavior has an effect on the lady's bottom line might not be relevant. It certainly is not the case in law. It's only relevant in assessing damages.

JKR would like you to believe that any dollar not landing in her purse is a stolen dollar. So would her publishers and they will go as far as they can because ultimately that puts more money in their pockets.
