"Coelho has oft-repeated his view that artists and artistic works do no suffer when they are copied, quite the opposite. Their distribution becomes greater and the artist comes off better as a result. "
This was written so poorly I stopped reading. At the end of the day no matter our views on piracy, the question is about (IMO) honoring the artist's wishes. So if Paulo Coelho feels it's okay, you can pirate HIS stuff. If other people want to restrict their content, leave it alone. Is it that hard?
