Paul Krugman's column in this morning's NY Times is of interest to writers and all creative people. It focuses on how digital material is easily copied and is already cheapening the value of same material, requiring musicians and others to find ancillary ways to make their money. For example, a band's music might be downloaded freely in order to spread the word about them, so that they can then sell T-shirts and hats, or push a concert.
So what can we writers do in the ancillary realm? I recently posted that several of my short stories on my website are free for anyone to read. And if people like them... well, perhap they'll pay to see me dance or groove on my harmonica! (Regarding the latter, two of my hounds provide wonderful howling accompaniment.)
Here's the link to the Krugman piece...
