Alchemist author increases sales by pirating his own book

“Paulo Coelho, the best-selling author of โ€œThe Alchemistโ€, is using BitTorrent and other filesharing networks as a way to promote his books. His publishers werenโ€™t too keen on giving away free copies of his books, so heโ€™s taken matters into his own hands.  Heโ€™s convinced โ€” and rightly so โ€” that letting people download free copies of his books helps sales.”

    hello!
    I’m a big Paulo Coelho’s fan and I don’t know if you heard about his blog
    http://www.paulocoelhoblog.com
    I’ve started as a fan and now I’m collaborating with him and thought that you would like to enter his universe.
    Check the blog.
    if you want, or subscribe to his newsletter

    You’ll see a community of warriors of light sharing ideas, dreams and most importantly following their personal legend.
