AA stole from the rich and gave it to the poor. AI stole from the poor and gave it to the rich.

[episode404]

AA scraped from the poor and resells books which are already free. Now AA is rich and wants to get richer. If you don't think that is true, consider their complete lack of financial transparency.

They try hard to pretend otherwise, but AA is a for-profit enterprise.

[nibbleyou]

I think a lot of us would be fine for AA to be a for-profit enterprise earning money from donations and deals with companies. The service it provides is invaluable - free and DRM-free access to millions of titles in the world.

[petra]

given their need to hide from the law, and the service they provide, it's fair.
