I am both a legal and illegal reader. I buy either the digital or physical if I like it enough and if my budget allows me. In this case, I didn't read LTIT but I was planning to buy its physical copy because of some snippets from socmed that I saw. But now that I found out that the author is like that... I won't touch her work. I won't invalidate her anger towards her work being pirated but a person with a huge fanbase and saying those on socmed is not just it. She could've handled it better.
