That's quite alright. I'm not into rubber-puppet space adventures either. (Telling how from the three self-identified writers in this thread [that I am aware of] so far, it's the most talented one that isn't over-the-top paranoid about copyright infringement.)
The funny thing about copyright infringement is... how often it's from authors and publishers who would fail to attain a circulation large enough to make them relevant even if they gave their books away for free.
But don't worry. Unlike you, I am professional enough to separate business from personal life. In the unlikely event that you ever try to buy one of my books, I will be more than happy to sell it to you.
And, what's more, if you decide to be a prick and upload scans of said book to the pirate bay in turn just to make a point, I'll approach the website's operators in a civilized manner and will request that they remove it (in addition to plugging my website and my other books on the torrent's comments page)
instead of suing you into bankruptcy.
This thread, despite too many people's valiant attempts, is failing to become any less stupid as time goes on.
