The OceanofPDF Drama Has BookTok Completely DIVIDED... Now BookTok Is At WAR

OceanofPDF has been shut down, and the book community is completely divided. In this episode, we're breaking down the drama, the ethics of book piracy, why readers use sites like this, and how it impacts authors—especially indie authors.
