- "I didn't even link to the site where you can get it."
You named the site, which in the Google age is practically the same thing as linking to it. If I told you that I saw an article on 'Salon', how long would it take you to find the site?
The point is that you're an author, with a book coming out next year, who downloaded another author's book, then posted about it on a popular site and told everyone where to find it. So how could you possibly complain next year if someone buys one copy of your book, posts it online, and then everyone else in the world downloads it for free? How would your publisher feel, for that matter?
