Megan Black | Don't Steal Books || Piracy in the Occult Community [CC] @RoundtheCauldron | Uploaded May 2021 | Updated October 2024, 23 minutes ago.
There have been arguments floating around Twitter recently about pirating occult books. This started, from what I could tell, from a mistake that a creator on TikTok made. As someone who writes for a living and who is currently writing more than one book, these arguments hit home for me.
These are my thoughts.
Also, some books may be required depending on your tradition. That is a different topic and one I won't cover because I'm not in a tradition and can't speak to that.
Note: I realize I made a mistake in the percentages and how the royalties work for physical books self-published through Amazon. Please see the links below for that information.
