Hmm. I wonder if there is a term for someone who knowingly violates the law??

Sometimes if you reach out there is a way to purchase drm free versions of the audiobooks directly from the author.

As long as you aren’t rude reaching out directly to the author is never bad. Sometimes you can purchase directly from them and they get a bigger cut.

Make sure to also check if your local store has a website. Im able to order directly from my local store and they call me when my book is ready to pick up. They will also do local shipping but I find it nice to head out and pick it up in person.
