Book Piracy – Yeah, It’s a Thing

So it has come to my attention recently that there are several websites out there offering free copies of the digital version of Dan and Frankie Save the World. That’s right, folks. Men/women/bearded, one-eyed sea-criminals of questionable moral integrity have been taking my work and giving it away for free behind my back.

Dick move, sea-criminals. Dick move.

I should probably be furious about this. I should be frothing at the mouth like Nicki Minaj at Miley Cyrus that one time. Remember that? Yeah, you know what I’m talking about. Don’t pretend you don’t like celebrity drama.

But, err… I’m not?

Why?

Hell if I know. Honestly, if the only way you can get a hold of a book is by illegally downloading it, all I feel is sympathy for you. I mean, you’ve got to be really hard-up for cash to want to risk criminal charges over something that costs on average about as much as a cup of coffee (also, it’s kind of flattering to think there are people out there so desperate to read something I’ve written they’d be willing to go to jail over it. Or whatever the repercussions for book piracy are. Walk the plank? Scurvy? A harsh talking to?).

So yeah. That’s where I’m at today.

Anybody else have any experience with this? Be great to hear what you think.

And remember – stay classy!
