Chalan Author of🌶 Fairytales :
It's not free advertising being as we pay with time and labor to create our books. Arcs aren't free either. They are a calculated loss.

Jessica Jocelyn Poetry :
Our brain frantically thinks of ways to justify the bad things that we do. It’s human nature. Doesn’t mean it’s not stealing.

Side note: I feel like Neil Gaiman shouldn’t get a say. He was famous before the internet and pirating became widespread. His career was already built

The reason Gaiman says that is because he's too big to be affected. Those of us for whom 20 books is a significant bump, on the other hand...

Theres a story from Maggie Stiefvater about one of her books where the inability to pirate her book had a huge impact.

That claim that authors aren’t losing $ cuz readers weren’t going to buy it anyway makes no sense. Ppl don’t use that line of reasoning when talkin (1

I read the book from z lib and if I liked it, I buy it. I'm broke so if I don't have z lib I'm not gonna use my money on less popular books.

Even if we can look at it positively (free publicity, possibly) there’s no denying it’s exploitative especially for indie authors

maggie stiefvater did a great analysis years ago about the impact of piracy on her book sale and how it nearly cancelled future contracts

Piracy is theft. Authors put a lot of time and money into producing their art. We deserve to be compensated.

Jare's Books :
I agree with Gaiman’s theory in regards to piracy, but that really only works for more mainstream and popular writers, not indie.
