Si ayer colocamos el video de la conferencia en Munich de Coelho en el post titulado Digital Life Design. Paulo Coelho. Hoy os traemos algunas referencias al tema que han circulado por la red:

1) Paulo Coelho piratea sus propios libro en el blog Veo, veo

En la conferencia Digital Life Design recién celebrada en Munich, el escritor brasileño ha confesado que lleva tiempo publicando sus libros en secreto en redes P2P y que también edita un weblog llamado Pirate Coelho, donde también sube diversas traducciones de sus libros. Para dar a conocer esta web incluso la enlaza desde su blog oficial, donde se muestra él mismo vestido de pirata

Coelho explicó a la audiencia como la circulación libre de sus libros en formato digital ha provocado una aumento de las ventas de los libros en formato papel. Explicó por ejemplo que al publicar la traducción al ruso de la novela “El alquimista”, sus ventas en Rusia subieron de unas 1.000 unidades al año, a 100.000 unidades.

2) BitTorrent is GOOD for authors says Paulo Coelho en Tech Digest.

Most of the publicity around online piracy has focused on music and, more recently, movies. E-books are just as pirateable, but there hasn’t been the same level of protest from the publishing industry (they’re more concerned with Google’s plans to scan in books, but that’s another story).

Anyway, this is a lead-in to the fact that best-selling author Paulo Coelho, of ‘The Alchemist’ fame, is actively pirating his own e-books! Well, he’s seeding them on BitTorrent, and running his own blog called Pirate Coelho that provides links to his books on P2P networks and FTP sites.

3) Best Selling Author Actively Pirating His Own Book — Finds It Helps Sales Tremendously the-benefits-of-free dept  from the en Tech dirt

We’ve been seeing more and more examples lately of content creators recognizing how they benefit from giving away their content for free. What’s most amusing, however, is that every time we point out an example, people work extra hard explaining why that case is a special case. When we discussed less-well-known musicians giving away music, we were told that it would never work for megastars. When we discussed megastars giving away music, we were told it would never work for indie musicians. The same is true in other areas as well. When we recently wrote about an author giving his book away for free, someone angrily emailed to let us know that this only made sense because no one had ever heard of that author — so it was purely a promotional effort by a new author.
