“I wish people understood that by buying new books at a deep discount they are pushing us towards a future that consists solely of self-published 99 cent ebooks. If you know anyone who edits, copyedits, designs, draws, writes, or otherwise publishes books, you should think twice before paying the lowest price you can for their labor. Even if you don’t, you should think twice if you believe that edited, published books should continue to exist.”
Yes. And this goes for music too. (Hey, remember the Oink Wars Of 2007?) And writing in general. And I’m sure it’ll start applying to TV shows and movies once the bandwidth opens wide enough.
(via maura)
Yes! And here is a perfect example of how to link to a good point but not link to a contrarian blog post that inspired it, because when you link to contrarian stuff that pisses you off, you are hurting writers and editors, too.
