Ask Reno ...
She’s an author.
The recording says the book is copyright. The audio recording professional, who holds that copyright and does the Youtube post have right to distribute it? I think not, otherwise they'd share that.
I have a paid subscription to Amazon Audiobooks and it covers the books I listen to, same as Kindle for books to read, I pay for others if I want. At no point does it give me rights or permission to post for open distribution on Youtube or elsewhere.
Anyway, I know there is a subculture, even on FR, to pirate whatever they can. I, as in past, object, point out that as good citizens and conservatives we should not be stealing the intellectual property.
It has always been a concern for me to see people share my intellectual property, costing me income. I don't want to do that to others.
