The phrase refers to the act of acquiring a digital audio rendition of Colleen Hoover’s novel, “It Starts With Us,” without incurring a financial cost. This commonly involves searching for and obtaining the file from sources that may or may not be authorized distributors. An example includes querying search engines or file-sharing platforms with the intent to find a downloadable copy.
The perceived benefit of such an action is the immediate accessibility to the novel’s content without payment. Historically, the desire for free digital media has fueled the growth of online file sharing and various methods of circumventing traditional purchasing models. This pursuit raises ethical and legal considerations regarding copyright infringement and the compensation of authors and publishers.
