There is no ethical consumption of her media. People may argue that you could pirate. Yes, you won't be contributing directly to her funds, but you're still giving her the clout.

In 'The Left hand of Darkness' there is a part about the road to Rome. If you are on the road to Rome and walk away from Rome you are still on the road to Rome. Rather then the Potter books more people should read the left hand of Darkness.

    I agree, but that's kinda like saying that too many people read Doctor Seuss and that they should read Ulysses instead. Le Guin is far superior to Rowling, not just in ethics, but in literary ability, and thus also difficulty. But I do think everyone should read everything she's written. In particular The Dispossessed, given that this is lemmy.
