<div>I did not read into SOPA beyond a glance, so I am not saying I agree or disagree with it. But I recently spent 9 months of my life writing a book. </div><div>I sold 400 copies up to Q3 this year.</div><div><br></div><div>
I checked some USENET stats for number of times my book was illegally downloaded just a couple weeks after it came out. It was over 300,000. I can find thousands of sites to illegally download it from. <br></div><div><br>
</div><div>It would be nice if I could just get $1 ( about 0.025% the cover price) from each person that illegally downloaded my book. </div><div><br></div><div>Not saying that I am super brilliant or deserve to be rich, but what is fair is fair. You download my book I should get SOMETHING for it. <br>
