One of the most widely read authors of the last decade, the Brazilian author Paulo Coelho on the Digital Life Design conference in Munich acknowledged that he not only supports the spread of piracy of his books, but also actively participates in this process - reports TorrentFreak.
The writer believes that free access to his works contributes to the growth in popularity and, consequently, an increase in sales. As an example, he recalled the situation with the ' Alchemist ' in Russia in 2001, when the publication of his book in the public domain has increased sales from one thousand to 100 thousand copies per year. ...
Author of ' The Alchemist ' is not confined merely to publish the resolution part of his books on the Internet. He created a blog 'Pirate Coelho', in which the person puts links to their own works. Once we've written about how Coelho publishes excerpts of books in Russian in his blog. ... However, he notes that faced with a lack of understanding of his actions on the part of publishers and translators.
This approach recalls the story of a group Radiohead, which last fall, will allow anyone to download their new album In Rainbows and pay for it as much as one sees fit, and sometimes does not pay. Then for the first week of downloads Group earned approximately 6-10 million. Do not fall behind in the unwinding of their works on the network and the Russian cultural figures. For example, Viktor Pelevin, whose novel 'Empire V' in the autumn of 2006 was leaked online before the official ' publication ' previous book, has announced its online play.
