The plain fact of the matter is this. If you are a musician or actor or writer, you damn well better have a day job to keep you alive while you try to become the next Michael Jackson, Meryl Streep, or J.K. Rowling.

This has ALWAYS been the case/truth since the beginning of time & most certainly before the invention of computers, cd's, ebooks & piracy!

So Steven, I'm glad you finally acknowledge the fact that you aren't going to become the next big star of writing, but is has nothing to do with piracy, and everything to do with the vast majority of people who read books, don't know who the hell you are & aren't interested in finding out, because they aren't interested in reading the genre of book that you have put out.

You are simply using piracy as a cop out to ignore the real truth of what's been listed above.
