Do you know how many libraries there are in this world? I've had tremendous good luck with Library Journal loving the books I've written, and that has given my work great sales numbers.

In the UK, authors are paid royalties whenever their works are checked out. Same in Australia.

See, there's a whole world out there that embraces all sorts of acknowledgement of what an artist does.

If you screen a movie for a "public audience" on a weekly basis, you're breaking the law. Didn't you know that?

I wonder what it is that makes people think they're entitled to the workproduct of artists when they'd never expect their doctors or dentists or other professionals to work for them for free.

Next time you get sick, tell your doctor you're entitled to his/her services for free, because it's only a "private audience." See how well that works.
