Why Poets Love Piracy

If you listen about half-way through, you'll see where bookstores have gone wrong.  Since bookstores can return books, they really do not care if any given book sells.  If they could not return the goods, as is normal in retail, they would be careful what they bought, and they would get busy guiding customers to good works.  There would be more of the good this fellow identifies as lacking, and that is booksellers introducing authors to readers.

This echoes what s in my free book (on google) or you can buy on Amazon.com, Perish Your Publisher.
