Man “Space Doubles” must be good because in less than 24 hours of its release its being pirated. What I don’t understand is… its not like we are Marvel or DC. If you download an illegal copy of “One More Day” the only person you’re hurting is yourself (true story: new a guy who went blind from reading it), but do comic-bootlegers realyyyyyy need to put illegal copies of a book from a small publisher online?

A publisher our size needs every sale. Not only for monetary value, but because Diamond pressures very hard for small publishers to release one or two floppy-issues and then re-solicit as a graphic novel. I’ve talked to several other companies in situations similar to ours and its frustrating because when Diamond is whispering in your ear saying “re-solicit or get canceled” what choice do you have? Either you burn the retailers and fans who invested in the floppy version of your book or you risk Diamond laying the smack down. So illegal downloading really does affect us small guys and its not cool!
