Piracy


Was over at Tynga's reviews and she had a new selection of buttons against piracy. She also linked to two articles regarding why piracy is bad.

Short version, for those not quite in the know, someone illegally posts an author's book online or somewhere or something like that for public consumption without paying. Like when people illegally download music from the internet or watch movies online without paying for them when they are still new releases.

People steal and they don't, or likely do and don't care, realize it. Authors, along with the movie production people and music artists alike put a lot of hard work and effort into making their piece; book, movie or song, and by stealing it from them and giving it to the world at large for free may seem like a good cause, it's not.

So I have borrowed one of Tynga's buttons and put it down in my sidebar to help promote against piracy. And by clicking on the button itself you will be taken to a Deadline Dames post Jeaniene Frost did talking about her opinion on piracy and why she doesn't like it either.

Check out Tynga's post to snag a button you like to help put a stop to piracy or at least get people into the know so they know it's wrong.

And really, the only pirate we should love and support is Captain Jack Sparrow! ;)

And while that comment may not make too much sense, I just couldn't resist throwing a pic of Johnny in!
