>>>>>Just ask Stephen King how much he made on his last novella. He wrote it on his laptop while recovering from his car accident, formatted the whole 60 pages in Adobe Acrobat *.PDF format and then charged $2.00 a download. He sold 400,000 copies on the first day alone. You do the math. Not bad work, if you can get it.<<<< Apart from Stephen King's artistic merits, his success has been due to heavy marketing and branding by his Publisher. His Publisher has spent great amounts of money to promote his name and work. If not for the hard work and promotion done by his Publisher, "Stephen King" (not his real name) might be a frustrated Insurance Salesman living in Boise, Idaho. Who's to know? I applaud Metallica who entered a Lawsuit against Napster and several Universities today for Copyright Infringment and Piracy. Music or any Copyrighted Art is NOT a Commodity. It is owned by the Creators and Publishers. No one has a "Right" to have Metallica's latest song. If we lose or water down the concept of Copyright, then Patents are next. So long Sandisk. So long everybody's business.
