Sometimes I wonder if all the hoopla against piracy is sometimes (and I do mean sometimes, not to try to dismiss the valid downfalls for authors) a form of reverse psychology.
You see a front page story "PIRACY IS EBIL!"
A long long story about how some of the Best Selling books are widely pirated, oh and by the way here (stating the NAME of the website - so easy to google) is where you are NOT SUPPOSED TO GO to get these really fabulous books by these incredible authors! News stories are actually where I learned about most of the websites that get discussed here!
Sometimes I think advertising agents are probably the ones who are unhappiest.
I used to use that kind of reverse psychology on my brothers. We'd pick our chores and I remember going "Oh Man, do I have to have THIS job?" and start pouting and pretending I really hated the job in question, so they'd hand it to me and take the job I really didn't want while I'd get the best one.
