Oh I don't have any issues with someone putting my books on torrent, I never made them to make any money anyway. I was just rather surprised that someone thought my work good enough to do this for.
Yes my books are in the MR library, I don't have my own website to host them and am not interested in doing that. I am not worried about advertising my books, I'm happy enough that they are on this site and available to whomever finds them.
I don't believe my lack of advertising if effecting anyones goodwill, the same could be said for most of us who publish here as almost none of us advertise the fact anywhere else that we've made them. If someone would rather use sites like torrent sites to download my work is fine (not the case for any copyrighted work), the only issue would be if they are up-to-date versions as I would not be able to control the quality.
As to my line about piracy, I think people might have taken it a bit out of context. I certainly am not upset about them being there. It was more a non-serious statement about downloading from a site that provided links to pirated software. The fact that they are there means I must have been doing something right when I made them.
