Joshua Mauldin Shares Stuff

Neil Gaiman tackles torrents, “piracy” and how many people really come to acquire or read books. He’s written a few novels in his day, too.

anthonypaige:

Neil Gaiman speaks about copyright, piracy, & digital distribution. Publishers: you’ve got around ~5 years before you hit the same place that the music industry is in now. Evolve, adapt, and embrace the present, or you will become obsolete. Independent Authors: now’s the best chance you’ve ever had to be heard, in the history of the world. Seize the day.
