Indeed

there are some interesting things in there. I wonder how long it will last . . .

Not long if the publisher finds out.

Total copyright violation.

you can't download it

i tried to see if i can download the 4 parts of the book, however you can’t. the uploader hasn’t made it possible to print it either.

Posting the book is infringement.

And anyone who wants to take the time could most certainly copy it.

Gah—I looked around that site and found books written by a bunch of authors I know. Just say no to piracy, folks.

Unless the pirates are wearing very tight and suggestive pantaloons of course

I’ve seen the bookcovers

Fair warning:

If I ever do write that pirate book I’ve been thinking about, cabin boy will be named “Jens.”

Or, well, you will be . . .

Ah, a blonde and innocent country lad

who is sternly punished for his curiosity and sharp tongue………

Are there some kind of royalties involved for semi-fictional characters?

by Jens on Jan 4, 2010 3:41 PM EST up reply actions

And sternly punished...and sternly punished...and sternly punished again...

Oh, and I’ll be happy to pay you in akvavit next time I’m in Sweden. Once you read the galleys, you’re going to need it.

meaning feed-back loop with "galley proof" and "galley slave"

for sure

stealing books is bad.

i admit, as a grad student i occasionally xeroxed out of print books from the library. but that was before abebooks and other such inventions.

by Jen See on Jan 4, 2010 3:08 PM EST up reply actions

I'm less offended by this than most, I think.

This book was never available in English, and by all accounts, never will be. So this isn’t eating into any sales, present or future.

I didn't know

Alberto could translate French into Spanish …..

Wait

have we considered the possibility that Lance’s buddies could be doing this? Let’s face it, the big loser from this is Walsh & co. And that the translation might contain certain “changes”?
