Hey question: if you were doing something wrong, would you announce it for the whole world to see?
Let's see. Hardback comes out first. Upset readers review. Ebook readers don't buy.
Here is what I read. I asked the publisher not to give out arcs. My brother uploaded to the pirate sites. She didn't have the rights to give her brother any part of the book.
Let's see, it took brother a very little time to do this. That tells me he has probably done it before.
I hope her publisher reads her blog. I don't care if it was just a part or all of it, she pirated it herself. So she stole from her publisher. She knew it was illegal and still did it.
Hey, here is the thing. I know it was just to prove a point.
Let's see. She doesn't have to publish herself. She had her brother pirate it for her.
The first one is bad enough, the second one is conspiracy to commit a crime.
Not saying piracy doesn't hurt sales. It does to a small point. Even just legally free can kill sales. See my post above.
Something about that article just sets off my alarm bells. It reads almost like she chummed the waters.

I don't think you are getting from the article what we are getting from the article.
