Quote:
For years, novelist Chuck Palahniuk saw piracy as one of the reasons behind his dwindling income. People were 'stealing' his books without paying for them, after all. However, last weekend it turned out that the real thief was closer to home than he ever imagined, and in no way linked to piracy.
When it comes to the link between piracy and sales, there are thousands of different opinions. This applies to music, movies, software and many other digital products, including ebooks.

“So on the minus side, I apologize for cursing my publishers. And I apologize for any rants about piracy. My publishers had paid the royalties. Piracy, when it existed, was small scale.
“I do hereby humbly apologize,” Palahniuk concludes.
