Regardless of the amount of piracy that may or may not take place, it's not depriving me of the ability to sell my book and it's sharing it with people who might not otherwise be able to access it. I think I have a bigger problem with the phishing that takes place on those sorts of sites, like Ann pointed out.<br /><br />That being said, I love how Ghostwoods words it. I'm an independent artist with four children. Two of them are disabled. My royalties go toward my bills and my rent, and my normal royalty percentage is about what Ghostwoods offers, so each purchase makes a difference. Pirate the book if you really can't afford it, and if you enjoy it and still can't afford it, at least leave a review in places where potential customers can see it. If people even did that, I'd be content.Peter Daweshttp://writerofstuff.comnoreply@blogger.com
