The big question is whether casual sharing gets you more sales from new readers than you lose through casual sharing between people who have already read one or more of your books. I don't think anyone knows the answer to that.

No, no one knows the answer--but for those who say, "Sharing can get you a new reader, so really it's helping." Well, we can't really know that either. Stalemate.
And I wasn't talking morals. I was talking my morale when it happens.
