That's penny wise and pound foolish. New authors more than anyone need the maximum possible exposure. If more authors were file-sharing their own works with a respectful introduction suggesting how readers can compensate them, the returns would be far greater than alienating potential readers and rationalizing one's lack of success by tilting at the windmill of lost sales because their work sits unread in a torrent of 3000 others.
