Here's how it works: The readers who want to give you money give you money, the readers who don't want to give you money don't, most of them just ignore you, and the world keeps spinning either way.
BeenyB wrote: ""Editorial," alone had a bit over 2,000 takers"Even if it were true that one of my books had been downloaded from some torrent site two thousand times, all that would mean would be two thousand more people potentially reading my shit who probably wouldn't have otherwise. But the fact is most of those sites return results (including false stats) for just about anything you try searching for -- they'll claim to have it, if this will entice you into signing up. If you don't believe me, go to one and search "BeenyB vs. the Big Bad Evil Pirates", and you're practically guaranteed to find .pdf, .mov, and .mp3 "files" with the same title.

Just as one can give someone else a physical book, one can also give them an e-book; though it does seem ridiculous to be allowed to do it 20,000 times. The writer upon discovering this can fill out a cumbersome form and get it to the right person at the site, saying that they don't want their book available there. To remain legal, the site has to comply, but in practice the site owners operate through a number of subsidiaries and just switch it to another legal entity. There are services which will monitor and request deletion for you at $400 per month and up."I'll sometimes issue DMCA notices on behalf of my employers, so I'm well acquainted with the futile game of whack-a-mole that is anti-piracy work. You could spend all day trying to get your copyrighted material removed from various websites, and it would still pop up again, hence my decision that it's just not worth the effort. Comparing the time/money spent combating piracy with the revenue supposedly lost to it, there's just no saner response over time.
Gotta admit that there's one good thing on these AG threads. No bullshit. These stupid mufuggas don't like me and I don't like their untalented, useless asses. Straight up.
Old bitch on another thread, crying over some fuckin' Nazi GR "author"'s review. Did the old cunt a favor and took the fuck out. Nowhumsayin. No big shit, a real lightweight. Didn't even use some of the words considered mundane here. Little doxing. Hehe.
Now the old bat thinks I'm a horror, is talking about flagging my fucking ass, and loves the mufuggin Nazi dope. Bitch even called me a troll. Shit.
You know, as dumb as AG and his suckups are, it's preferable to hearing midwestern stupidity over choice words.
IF THAT WASN'T CLEAR, FUCK YOU ARTHUR, BUT EXTERMINATE ALL THE REST.
Oh, and BTW, if you like that Steve Godin any more, mufuggas gonna get some gravy on his trousers. Thank you Douglas Hackle, and fuck you too; "Infinite Jest" all the way up yo ass.

Yeah, well, no doubt what you took for worry wasn't anything not curable by a few wet raspberries.
It's really sad for me, you know; and worse I share some of the blame. When I don't pretend and show my true nice side, I get ignored, called boring, and possibly even derided in one of bald, lump-head Leo's long ass, teenage worthy, psychological diatribes about how he's now OK though he didn't please his old man. Fucking moron.
Anyway, the fuck-ass game goes like this. I'm a really nice person, but everyone only respond when they get abused, and since I'd like to give them what they want .................................
DFW was right. The system is intolerable. But, I've figured it out and clandestinely explain how to work it in 21,000 words of G5 with lots of pictures and tablets. More has to be added, so all must patiently wait.

Sigh. No more popularity. All washed up and only 68. Goodbye, cruel world.

The literary world suffers another irrepairable wound. All good and saddened GR mooches pray for a speedy recovery. Mr. Hackle will join the congregation as soon as he completes his infinite read.

Remember that old bat from #5? Well, I finally responded to her saying; "Right up your ass."
Given that she is 75, midwestern, and innocuous, I may have prompted my final GR deletion. I've been trying. But, this was worth it. I mean, I can just picture this proper old dodo reading "right up your ass" and in her upset telling it to Mr. Rogers, who really doesn't give a fuck as it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
So, a tentative "Bye all," wish I could say that it was fun.

Thanks a lot. I'm actually somewhat familiar with him from when he got Kevin Strange's attention. I wrote him four or five messages and he deleted all of them. I'm certain he would never tell an old lady "right up your ass."
As I recall, I think he called Bizarro literature retarded and abysmally written; while I just say lame.
But, he's a fart himself; purposely using very obscure words, then providing the definition. The rest is long ass shit with animals roaming the streets of Chicago, which finally gets good in the last 3 of 41 chapters. Anyway, this mofo wasn't about to deal with moi one little bit.
Shows you how much you know, dope.

Kinks are fine. Slobs are not. There's a difference. That's why they took the trouble to make two different words, genius. Think about it. DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well yeah, in that sense. I was thinking in terms of them taking competent IS measures against me which would result in my inability to get on. ............. Okay, I get silly sometimes.

They're probably not hurting sales, either. The way I figure, the reader who is unwilling/unable to provide financial support wasn't going to give me any money in the first place, so who cares if they'd rather still read my books anyway? Authors who assume they're losing money to pirates often start with the faulty assumption that most readers can and should pay to read their shit.
