an amusing anti-piracy plea

[madbaker]

Liner notes for Neil Gaiman’s Telling Tales:

We know how tempting it is to copy this for all of your friends. But please don’t. People who post CD tracks online or burn copies of spoken word CDs put out by small bookshops in Minnesota more or less as a public service because nobody is really making any money here have been scientifically proven to go on to worser crimes such as arson, pillage, murder, and non-payment of parking tickets. Inevitably, they wind up imprisoned, institutionalised, or banished to small islands in the South Atlantic.

We at DreamHaven love you, in a warm, very personal and slightly disturbing way. We wouldn’t want to see bad things happen to you in later life. Send people to the website, and tell them to buy their own. We thank you.
