Comment Follow Cory Doctorow's Lead (Score 0) 987

The easiest way to avoid any piracy is to GIVE your book away. Cory Doctorow did this with his novel "Little Brother". It was on the NY Times bestseller list for weeks, if not months, and has a sales rank of 1800 at Amazon. All that despite the fact that it was available for free online. To quote Cory: "For me -- for pretty much every writer -- the big problem isn't piracy, it's obscurity (thanks to Tim O'Reilly for this great aphorism)."
