I know there's nothing to be done about piracy...

But when you're working three jobs and promoting a novel and you see a site claiming it's helped people download your book 775 times... you can't help but think how many artists will never write a second book because all anyone did was steal the first one.

I'd almost rather someone steal my car than steal my book. All I did was pay money for my car.

Of course the site could be lying, but man. 775 copies of the book might help push me into the range where an agent would consider me.
