Those gentleman socialists of the Internet Archive have put my novels on their site and I am not happy at all.

Writers are poor, research done by @RSLiterature & @Soc_of_Authors has shown that again & again, with most fulltime writers earning less than £10,000 pa. I wrote my first novel on the dole or in a very low paying jobs. It& #39;s not too much to ask that I own my own books.

If there is a distribution issue (like in Somaliland) I have turned a blind eye to piracy but for wealthy westerners to claim it is their right to get artistic work for free or semi-legally is something else.
