Quote of the Day

"When the web started, I used to get really grumpy at people," he says, "I had this belief, which was completely erroneous, that if people put your stuff up on the web and you didn't tell them to take it down, you would lose your copyright.

Yet, after observing that the most pirate-heavy countries, such as Russia, actually had the best sales, he decided to experiment with putting his book for free online. "Sales of my book, through independent book stores, because that's all that we were measuring it through, went up, the following month, 300%."

Neil Gaiman
