In these times where income inequality in the USA is the worst it's been
since the Gilded Age, I think a little bit of perspective is best used when
dropping the term "meager income". If you've got pocket money for computer
collecting, I don't think you get to make that claim.
Best,

other things, such as theft: it's an appeal
to emotions, trying to equate
"thing I want people to oppose" with "very different thing I expect
people
already consider bad". It's a fundamentally dishonest bit of oratory.
I write for a (meager) living. If someone were to take my work and decide
for themselves that it should be online for free, then they ARE stealing
from me. That is reality, not the semantics of case law.
