Neil Gaiman on Copyright Piracy and the Web
“Places where I was being pirated […] I was selling more and more books. People were discovering me through being pirated. And then they were going out and buying the real books”
“Nobody who would’ve bought your book is not buying it because they can find it for free. What you’re actually doing is advertising, you’re reaching more people, you’re raising awareness.”
It’s kind of like the free Itunes song thing. Same principle. More people get it and listen to it because it’s for free, and out of those people who listen to it there’s bound to be people that want to listen to more of your music.
