Cory Doctorow: Why I copyfight
Diezgan jēdzīgs skatījums uz problēmu.
Nujā, bet ko tad var sagaidīt no cilvēka, kura veiksmīgākais grāmatu mārketinga tūlis ir piedāvāt grāmatu par brīvu un priecāties, kā cilvēki pērk papīra versiju.
"Some writers are using the Internet's affinity for SF to great effect. I've released every one of my novels under Creative Commons licenses that encourage fans to share them freely and widely — even, in some cases, to remix them and to make new editions of them for use in the developing world. My first novel, Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom, is in its sixth printing from Tor, and has been downloaded more than 650,000 times from my website, and an untold number of times from others' websites.
I've discovered what many authors have also discovered: releasing electronic texts of books drives sales of the print editions. An SF writer's biggest problem is obscurity, not piracy. Of all the people who chose not to spend their discretionary time and cash on our works today, the great bulk of them did so because they didn't know they existed, not because someone handed them a free e-book version."
