Following previous installments on the thorny intersections of money and fanfiction, Episode 218, "The Money Question 3: Books???" tackles the recent debacle around people illegally selling bound copies of others' fic, which has mostly centered on mega-popular Dramione works. Jumping off from Elizabeth's WIRED article on the subject—which ties the practice to the current pull-to-publish wave as well as the Twilight fan-run presses of the early 2010s—Elizabeth and Flourish discuss the context collapse when a fic "breaches containment," double standards in attitudes towards money and various fan practices, and, for likely the 1,000th time on this podcast, what exactly "fair use" means.
