I've always been against illegal downloads of any kind, for reasons similar to what you state here. I do generally feel like people who illegally download my books wouldn't have bought them anyway, so I try not to let it worry me. That said, I'm not <i>okay</i> with it. It's just not something I spend much time thinking about. <br /><br />Your cover art looks awesome! I hope that new effort goes well for you. I always love looking at those and seeing stuff like "Author Authorson," too. Easily amused, I guess.Annabeth Leonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07455191827664110878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-44178565052216395692016-08-24T03:32:41.514-04:002016-08-24T03:32:41.514-04:00Hi, Willsin!

I went out and bought one of Sarah's books, and reviewed it on my blog. <br /><br />You can check out her post here. (One thing that impressed me was the fact that she answered every one of the hundreds of comments.)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.sarahmadisonfiction.com/2016/06/dear-broke-reader-your-sense-of-entitlement-is-killing-me/" rel="nofollow">http://www.sarahmadisonfiction.com/2016/06/dear-broke-reader-your-sense-of-entitlement-is-killing-me/</a><br /><br />I have stopped sharing blog posts about boxed sets on Triberr, for the reasons you cite. <br /><br />Now I'm off to look at your premade covers! One of these days (ugh) I'm going to have the time to finish one of my WIP!<br /><br />Lisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-81347866609392396102016-08-23T17:37:26.891-04:002016-08-23T17:37:26.891-04:00Good sermon, Willsin.

I review books, which are often sent to me as PDFs. Sometimes I then offer to share them with whoever I know who might like to read them. Sometimes I even ask: "Do you think you would buy this?" (I tend to ask this of folks I know who don't seem likely to read a particular genre, say lesbian erotica, and that's the genre of the book I reviewed.) If not, and if they're interested, I sometimes send them a copy. It's tempting to do this, but I think I will stop, in order to feel righteous, attract pretty birds, and lose kilos. In all fairness, I don't throw hissy fits when I discover that something I wrote was pirated by someone I would never suspect (e.g. one of my stories from Best Lesbian Erotica in the on-line porn stash of a person called Marcel Lee of Detroit, Michigan, who described himself as a 31-year-old African-American man). In some cases, I like the free publicity. In general, no one is entitled to a free lunch, free story, or free ebook.Jean Robertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805088081675965859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-68597186750293795902016-08-20T19:20:02.751-04:002016-08-20T19:20:02.751-04:00I don't think I have ever pirated anything.
