The stuff in that link about 'piracy' is why I do what I do with my books and music. I won't release them (or any of my creative work) under free licenses, because I don't want to limit my own options while I'm not in profit on them. But I *do* make sure they're available as cheaply as possible (a quid for my EPs and about three quid for ebooks), that most of it's available for free (can read almost all the content of my books on my blogs, and can listen to my band on Spotify), that there are DRM-free versions of my stuff available (I don't know what iTunes/iBooks do to my stuff as I can't use those programs, but you can get my books as un-DRM'd ePub and PDF and my music as un-DRM'd MP3s), and I tell people I won't sue if they share, but I'd rather they didn't while it's cost me to do them.

Once I've hit break-even point on each thing (roughly £1000 for studio time on music, and the same to pay for my time working on it for the books) I'll stick them out under a CC-by attrib-non-comm-sharealike license, but I don't expect that will be any time soon (maybe three years if book sales remain as they are, never for the music). I think that's a reasonable stance to take.

(I'm *hoping* to make enough money from writing to eventually have that be my job, so this matters to me. But that won't be happening any time soon...)

Replying to my own post

Don't know if you've seen this - http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2010/05/cmap-9-ebooks.html - but someone who sells a few more books than me explains well why the ebook market is as it is...

Love Walken in that. I like the song too, but that's always a matter of opinion.

Heh, the sign for "fuck" was about what I expected but "shit" is interesting.
