    Thousands of underpaid workers in publishing offices, marketers, delivery drivers, and bookstore workers. Without them JK Rowling makes nothing, but they didn’t get any extra pay from the success of Harry Potter.

      Really? By that standard, everyone is unethical. I’m quite sure if I dig deep enough I can find something in your job’s supply chain that’s can be considered “unethical” and using your guilt by association logic, you are an unethical person too.

        Man, I am the underpaid person in my supply chain.

        And its a lot less ethical for people to profit billions off the labour of others than for me to profit a few thousand that I need to eat.

          Doesn’t matter what you are paid. You can be making a billions or $12/hr, you are still profiting off unethical behavior of others.
