The way to get me off the darknet is to make these books available legitimately and at a reasonable price. My definition of a reasonable price is the same price as the cheapest pbook version available.
Your attitude towards your readers makes me sorry that I purchased all your books. I just checked and I have 9 of them on my Fictionwise bookshelf. I also checked my torrent program and discovered all your books are sitting in a torrent I already had downloaded to get the E.E. "Doc" Smith Lensman series. I had only checked off the Smith books to download, but a quick change of your priority from "skip" to "normal" got me all the books in under 5 minutes. Did that cause me to not buy your books? No. But treating me like a thief pisses me off and puts me off purchasing any future books.

5 and 1/2 years until E.E.Smith's work (those released in his lifetime) are P.D. in Canada,,,, (All the Lensman books, Skylarks, among others.)
