Reader Q here… does piracy affect you?

Anybody who visits my blog on a semi-regular basis knows my views on piracy-I think it bites-it makes it harder for me to do my job, takes time away from writing, frustrates me, etc, etc.

But yes, these are writer concerns.

I've got a question and it's solely for readers-I want the opinion of readers, not the writers who are also readers-I realize we look at it from both sides of the fence and sometimes that complicates things.

So, to the readers, do you think piracy affects readers?  How? ...
