    He didn’t just sell books, he got signed by editors who published him worldwide. That’s what I’m talking about. He was ‘chosen’ by the market.

      You can be picked up by every single editor on the planet, if your books are shit you ain’t selling them.

      People who cry about copyright are either creatively bankrupt or leeches who believe artists shouldn’t be paid for their work.

              It’s a good book for these people. If you think it doesn’t take talent to do it, feel free to go for it, and enjoy your easy money.

      I do not understand what point you’re making. Can you elaborate?

        Yes. I mean that copyright just protects those people that were selected by the industry. I don’t mind paying for the artist’s work. But I still think it should be DRM free and easily distributable - so people can support the artist if they like the work.
