    I spent many months and wrote a big, elaborate digital book when paperless distribution was still a novelty. Trust in people led me to leave out copy protection, and to charge a more than reasonable price. It was a hit, people were celebrating it, thanking me profusely, and begging for more. Downloads and distribution were absolutely overwhelming and wonderful.

    I sold 4 copies.

    A life lesson learned. People really are something.
