My second book is being pirated worse than the first was. I will not likely write a third edition. Too much work and not enough incentive for me to do so.

Second book!?!? Man I've been out of the loop, I didn't know you wrote a second, I only have the original.
Vigo:
Is piracy bad? Yes. Can it be stopped? No.
Pay-per-view worked well 20 years ago, there was no internet, VHS quality sucked, and it was a great outlet to get a movie or event on demand. Great business model.
Now that everything is available on a number of outlets, pay per view purchases are tanking. Is it the customer's fault for wanting a better and cheaper method of viewing, when everything else is better and cheaper now, or is it the provider's fault for only offering the match on an outdated, expensive platform?
fallacy:
anyways that’s the world we live in. To me it is hard to make an argument that copying is stealing? If I did not copy it then who is to say I would spend the money to get it in the first place? At least if it was something that I like I could spread it through word of mouth and someone else might pay for it.
Well Fed Games:
So far the excuses for theft seem to be, "some things are overpriced," "some movies are dumb," "crime happens, so we are collectively unable to think for ourselves," and "hey, I am doing them a favor by pirating! It is publicity!" This thread is making my day! :applaud:
