"I
do have an interest in this book, which is for sale. (If you have
bought it, dear reader, I thank you. If you have borrowed it, I honor
your frugality. If you have stolen it, may it add to your confusion.)
Most of the sale price pays the publisher for paper, ink, and other
materials, for editorial advice, copyediting, design, advertising (I
hope), and marketing. I get between 10 and 15 percent (depending on
sales) for arranging the words on the pages.
As I understand it, I
am being paid only for my work in arranging the words; my property is
that arrangement. The thoughts in this book, on the contrary, are not
mine. They came freely to me, and I give them freely away. I have no
"intellectual property," and I think that all claimants to
such property are thieves."
