In this week’s episode of The Good Book Life, host Donna Scott sits down with three brilliant authors - Allen Stroud, Valeriya Salt, and Helen Cooper - for a frank and insightful conversation about book piracy: what it is, how it happens, and why it matters.

We explore: How authors discover their books on pirate sites; the rise of spoof piracy sites; the myth of “victimless” piracy; accessibility excuses vs. real alternatives; libraries, charity shops, KU, and community book swaps as sources of books; the emotional and ethical impact of piracy, plus what can be done!
