Except that people who think they have the right to do whatever they
want with anything they consider "theirs" look on anyone who prevents
them from doing so as a mean bully, and so do those who agree with
their point of view. Given she's mainly posted this for the people who
were eagerly taking advantage of her generosity, a cynic such as me
might interpret those two sentences as "The nasty, greedy publishing
people have come after me because they're losing a few bucks."
Because the fact is, what the people she's addressing "understand" is
that the people who publish books and music and other creative work
are all fat cats with huge bank accounts who should be grateful their
product is being widely disseminated for free because that's free
advertising. The concept that writing a book or a song or creating a
work of digital art is something people just like them (but with more
talent LOL) do to earn a living doesn't even cross their minds.
