I’m one of those who will rebuy an entire series (if the pubs make it available) to keep the sizes the same (am currently doing that for J R Ward books)

Just saying…

Looking forward to the SSP anthology!

You made points I haven’t thought of. I’ve never pirated a book, but now I know how to argue against someone who might use the music industry as an example of how piracy works for the artist. You’re right. A book the one shot an author has to make some coin, everything else comes out of his/her pocket to promote his/her self. Great post, James.

One of the panelist said he was ecstatic that his book popped up on the torrent sites. To him, that meant his book had gained some traction. That there was even an audience *willing* to pirate it.

Which then brings me to a point I often think about. Can a pirate be turned into a fan? Who then buys the books later? Or what are the chances of them turning a friend onto your series/work? Obviously these are the big question marks, as we have no way of tracking them.

For my money, I hope to see my work on the torrent sites per the reason above. Are those people pirating it lost sales? Probably not. I assume they had no intention of buying it anyway. Instead I like to think of it as a measure of success :)
