Other people being awesome-- Seanan McGuire explaining how internet piracy hurts everyone

At WFC this past weekend I was chatting with an editor and expressed my admiration for the consistently high quality of the artwork that graces the cover of his magazine. He then informed me that one of the artists I admired had become so depressed by the rampant theft of his work that he'd stopped creating. I was saddened, but not surprised.

In that vein, I'm posting a link to Seanan McGuire's thoughtful post "As to hanging, it is no great hardship...": Internet Piracy, and Who It Hurts, and her follow-up post here. Most people reading my blog will have already read these, but it's worth boosting the signal.
