I was the only ordsprog
 I was the only one in America with the book (in manuscript form). Released into the wrong hands, it could have ended up on the Internet and losing a lot of people a lot of money. |
| Barnes & Noble is hoping [the Web site] will be subjected to the same rules as Amazon is as an Internet company, where their stock is trading at an exorbitant price while the company is losing a lot of money. It also provides them with more protection, so they don't keep losing money through their Internet site and have their stock price go down. |
| I will say this. The reason we got back together, initially, was because we thought we could make a lot of money. But it turned into a situation where that wasn't happening. Not only were we not making money, but we were losing money and we ended up paying for the entire recording ourselves. |
| [Just when we thought the pinch was over, high prices hit again and people are pointing fingers at the oil companies.] True it's costing them money, but they're getting it back from us, ... They're not losing money and they have no intention of losing money. |

| From what I've observed, about 98 percent of all the entertainment derived on the Internet is about people embarrassing themselves or people being embarrassed. It's really America's Funniest Home Videos on the Internet. It's television by the people for the people. But on the other hand, there's the problem. This is the blessing and the curse, be careful what you ask for. |
| Through the years, people said, 'You should write a book.' I was like., 'What about?' All of a sudden, I had something to write about. So you ask yourself, 'Who is this for? Is this a money-making venture?' You kind of have a blank slate in terms of all those thoughts. You realize you're not going to make a lot of money on it. You decide you're writing it for your own sense of satisfaction. I just wanted one published copy in my hands. |
| If you're a freedom-to-read person, pulling a book like that one is not that different from any book that might have fake scholarship. No matter how wrong a book might be, people should have access to it. It's a slippery slope once you start removing books like that. |
| is it any different to loaning a book to someone? There was a book in the US ( Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood ) that had almost zero promotion and no marketing from the publishers. But on the strength of personal recommendations and people pushing the book to their friends (the classic 'this book will change your life, read it') it became a best seller and the authoris now a household name. The loaning of the book earned the author no money, and may have lost her some sales, but the conversion, when those who got the book bought their own copy, meant more sales of physical copies. |

| It's become a huge Internet movement. On the flip side of that, because these people have been so aggressive and so active on the Internet, that has also mobilized those who feel differently [than the book challengers do]. |
