English Monster author parleys with ebook pirates

Lloyd Shepherd asked questions about ebook piracy when he found a request for a pirate copy of his book on the Mobilism site

Someone had posted a request for a free ebook version of his novel The English Monster, which was published on 1 March. Lloyd engaged the poster in an online discussion about the ethics of ebook piracy. He wrote a piece about his experiences called My Parley with Ebook Pirates for the Guardian, which makes fascinating reading.
