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.

Well, we went out on a double date Me and Edith, you and Kate Before we got past their front gate There you were making eyes at Edith While you were making time with Kate
You can't have your Kate and Edith too You rascal you yodel-a-dio
Years have passed since that first date I married Edith, you married Kate Now every night when I come home Your car's in the driveway Kate's in the car And you and Edith are in the house alone
You can't have your Kate and Edith too You rascal you yodel-a-dio...

Well, we went out on a double date
Me and Edith, you and Kate
Before we got past their front gate
There you were making eyes at Edith
While you were making time with Kate
You can't have your Kate and Edith too
You rascal you yodel-a-dio
Years have passed since that first date
I married Edith, you married Kate
Now every night when I come home
Your car's in the driveway Kate's in the car
And you and Edith are in the house alone
You can't have your Kate and Edith too
You rascal you yodel-a-dio...
