Arrgh! They've stolen my content!

Pic here

I cite Lars Ulrich on this subject because my older son idolizes him and because he always impressed me WRT his vehemence on the subject (even more than his ferocious drumming, which I've witnessed close up).

In Indy last year, I snapped while accompanying my son to the concert, ear plugs firmly in place.

Anyway, what caught my eye on the article was this quote from the deputy chief exec of Penguin (the publisher that owns G.P. Putnam, publisher of my trilogy, and which in turn is owned by Pearson, which also owns the FT):

The only way to fight piracy is to publish digital content across as many formats as possible, through as many channels, at a fair price.  If we go for exclusive or proprietary formats, we're completely screwed.

You fight illegal connectivity by embracing connectivity all the more--not by putting up firewalls.
