Freeloading

If you're a creator feeling defeated or fatalistic about receiving any sort of financial compensation for your work, this is a great book to read. It doesn't paint too rosy a picture, but it effectively deflates a lot of the easy arguments for piracy, proposes a reasonable framework for copyright/anti-piracy efforts going forward, and offers promising evidence for a brighter future. My only complaint was the 50-60% of the book written in tiny italics - I like to read in dimly-lit restaurants.
