What people should be doing is scanning their purchased copies, then leaking them right as soon as the physical copies go out of sale. Wabam! Day one!
And if she complains at all about it, tell her on Twitter it's her fault for thinking that she could get away with selling an inferior digital equivalent. Like imagine if you bought a burger at McDonalds or some shit, and there was no patty in it, and the person at the cashier was all like "Nu-uh, how DARE you question our frycook's hard work, deal with it sucker!" When the McDonalds a town over is perfectly fine with refunds and the frycook in question is normally fine at making burgers, they just made the one mistake. It's shenanigans I tell you.
Ethically, I do think old stuff should be released a year or 6 months after they go out of sale, because if the author doesn't want to release the doujin digitally (that isn't inferior, or downright defective compared to the original, thanks maririn), then it's time to protest! Raise awareness and change society. Fuck the man!
Don't let old works die forever.
