Neil Gaiman on Copyright Piracy and the Web
“Places where I was being pirated […] I was selling more and more books. People were discovering me through being pirated. And then they were going out and buying the real books”
“Nobody who would’ve bought your book is not buying it because they can find it for free. What you’re actually doing is advertising, you’re reaching more people, you’re raising awareness.”
Since I’ve heard numerous dumb things being said about censorship and SOPA, here is a video of one of my personal heroes being a genius (as per usual) and explaining the issue wonderfully.
