Why fight it?

"As for writers, there's no keeping your stories and books yours, all yours. Unless you print it out and put it in a locked safe. In which case no one would ever read it. That's not what a writer wants. It's not what I want, anyway. I want people to read what I've written. The enemy of a writer is not piracy. It's obscurity.

If you put content on the internet, you give it away. That's the reality. Rather than fight it, I think it behooves writers and artists of all stripes to embrace this reality."
