A few months ago I googled the title of my sf novel Princess of Amathar so that I could see if anyone had posted a review. Much to my surprise, I found it listed in a bit torrent with many other (mostly famous) sf books. I was actually pleased more than upset, because apparently somebody thought enough of it to place it in an archive. Nobody pirated this book because it was too expensive though. It was (and is) selling just about everywhere for less than $2, DRM-free. I'm still less bothered by any (very small) money that I won't get, than by the fact that I can't tell what the distribution is. I've written four books that I've distributed free, but I still like to keep track of how many copies are downloaded.
