Torrenting her work keeps it in the zeitgeist, and implicitly encourages others to purchase her media. If we truly want to stop J.K. Rowling from amassing any more wealth, we have to stop consuming her media.

She's a billionaire. I doubt she even cares, but who knows. I think there's more a psychological thing at play here. It's clear a lot of people loved her work and feel hurt and betrayed that she became who she is. If she was just some other billionaire that was vocally anti-trans it wouldn't be so painful. As a 'cis male' who was never into her books I can't really relate, but there' a clearly a large community of former fans who it has affected.
