Piracy’s Double-Edged Cutlass
The power of piracy and viral success of Go The Fuck To Sleep (a children’s book for adults): “Piracy, it seems, is what has driven the book’s real-world,
money-making, flying-off-the-shelves success. The bootleg copy hasn’t
replaced the actual artifact. It has only served as a sort of free
advertising. Piracy can hurt publishers, but it can also help them.”
