Det var ett intressant knep. Mer intressant är att han egentligen borde straffas med dagsböter då det är olagligt att sprida upphovsrättsskyddat material.

Hej,

intressant! Jag läste om Paulo Coelho, han som skrev bland annat Alkemisten, och han har också själv spritt sitt material. Från wikipedia om Paulo Coelho (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paulo_Coelho#File_Sharing):

"Paulo Coelho is a strong advocate of spreading his books through peer-to-peer file sharing networks. A fan posted a Russian translation of one of his novels online. Sales of his book jumped from 3,000 to one million in three years, with no additional promotion or publicity from his publishers.[19][20] Coelho took to pirating his own books on Pirate Coelho which provides free translations of many of his books[21] He was caught by the head of HarperCollins, Jane Friedman, who noticed that one of the unauthorized versions Coelho linked to had notes from his own manuscript.[22] The two reached a compromise: each month a new novel can be read for free on the publisher's website.[22][23] Due to the openness regarding his content, author Jeff Jarvis named Coelho 'the Googliest author' in his book What Would Google Do.[22]"
