Apparently, if you’re American, you can download books for free. Including new books. Um, here’s a free copy of my book. (Thanks for the link, J.)
After the Tyee article came out, there was a bit of a furor over Steven Galloway’s facetious remark about burning down libraries. So, uh, I won’t say anything at all, uh, that might incite folks to burn down the goddamned internet.
Seriously, though. I do wonder what the net affect of this is. But then, I’m still happy (and even a little surprised) when I see that one of my books has been taken out of the local library.

this is the link to part 2. but when people make jokes, especially when they go on and on (like “it’s Napster; it’s worse than Napster. they’re stealing from us”)–they should add, “just kidding” or the editor who posts the transcription should add that it was a joke. because reading the words on the page like that made me pretty mad.

Thanks for the updated link, effing, and the clarification. I’m sure you and SG are completely squared now:)
