I see piracy as an opportunity rather than a threat. And I'm very much a "not only is the glass half empty but it will probably crash to the floor" type of person by nature.

Mrs ploppy keeps saying "How are you going to make any money if you just give them away?"

I point at the printouts stuck to the wall above my computer -- an email from someone who probably hasn't read a book since leaving school, the 70p I made from a Paypal donation, and someone's blog entry that mentions me.

"I'll make money from them, and people like them as soon as they notice me."

But if not, no big deal.
