Not comfortable sharing for PTSD reasons. However, if you're interested, some people reached out back to me with apologies. For example (auto-translated to English):

Good day. Roman, my name is Alexander. Once a book was stolen from you and posted on the net. People then divided into two camps, some sympathized, some did not, for various reasons. I belonged to the second category. I wasn’t happy, but at the same time I didn’t sympathize. I considered that price too high, and then for some reason it seemed to me that the book itself was not for the sake of being useful, but solely for the sake of profit. Although, even then I believed that work should be paid.
Then I released a few comments, I don’t remember exactly the content, perhaps boorish, I don’t think so. You then blocked me in the Telegram and chat, said, for the lack of empathy on my part or something like that. I think you misunderstood me, and perhaps I expressed my thought incorrectly. After that, I left a couple of caustic comments on the forum.
I somehow forgot about that situation, but then I came across your videos on YouTube and remembered. Thoughtful. Damn, I myself got into similar situations, which made me so hooked on that price list ...
In general, I was wrong and I apologize if I somehow offended you. Of course, you have the right to ask as much as you like for your work, and the buyer has the right to agree to the conditions or refuse.
And you assume that the only reason anyone would want to advocate for the freedom of information is because they don't like to spend money, which is also untrue.
For example, there are many research papers posted on sci-hub, which would otherwise be kept behind an expensive paywall by academic journals. This includes research that was conducted using public grants.
For those of you who play PC games, how many times have you felt cheated by the hassle a game's DRM or the built-in 'phone home' featured caused on your experience?
How about being electronically denied access to trying to repair your own vehicle, even while fully acknowledging that it would invalidate any warranties and responsibilities on the manufacturer's side?
Some of the laws and regulations impacting intellectual property are quite simply dysfunctional.

Sorry friend. I wish peace. ===
