As a cultural artifact, the book has undeniable power, and the idea of a poor, developing country with a robust informal publishing industry is, on some level, romantic: the pirate as cultural entrepreneur, a Robin Hood figure, stealing from elitist multinational publishers and taking books to the people. The myth is seductive, and repeated often. In a country where a new book can cost 20% of the average workers’ weekly wage, it’s worth asking who could afford to read if it weren’t for pirates?
in Guardian
esta imaginação, este sentido de sobrevivência, de reivindicação até ao ponto de conseguir... e a subversão, a inversão das regras, a distorção da lógica... isto chama-se teimosia de existir.
