I came across an interesting article today titled, Confessions of a Book Pirate.
I couldn't decide if I should post the link on my blog, not because it was a bad article, but because I always feel like putting out there is patting the wrong-doing pirate on the back and giving them a job well done feeling.
No thumbs up here Mr. Pirate, stealing is stealing, but I will applaud the work the author of the article did and post the link.

Serena, I scanned the article.
ReplyDeleteThere's one point I rather agree with, when it's a faceless big corporation, people aren't likely to care as much...
Course, what they don't understand is in the small print/e-pub biz, they're stealing from us individual author/artists.
I don't think a lot of folks understand that's like stealing from a mom and pop business.
Very true, Savanna. I was also surprised by some of the comments. One commenter stated that they were copying, not stealing. :0 Really?
ReplyDeleteHmmm... I didn't look at the comments... okay, isn't that like copying a painting and selling it as the real thing?
ReplyDeleteThat's illegal.
Yep, just like that Savanna...illegal is illegal. :)
