Reading the news, I can not feel responsible at least for a small part of the

How much money is lost Association "Bulgarian c wonder Book" from me? VEB: log
Reading the news, I can not feel responsible at least for a small part of the "damage of Bulgarian culture and book publishing business for million dollar" - regularly read books in Bulgarian by chitanka.info. For this I did a little simple arithmetic: Bulgarian Bulgarian classic books - most books in Bulgarian classics (Vazov Jovkov Karavelov, ...) are out of copyright, as the authors have left this world for more than 70 years (Law on Copyright and related rights, article 27 (1)). That is, if I read "Notes on Bulgarian Uprisings" and go buy the book from the bookstore, pay costs of a paper book, and profit for the publisher. Copyright is not paid. Therefore, publishers have lost zero lev from my reading of the classics in Bulgarian library. New and latest Bulgarian books - most of the new Bulgarian literature promoted by its very authors online. Last I read books Tihomir Dimitrov and Ivaylo Borisov they personally released online perusal. The good thing about this model is that if a book I like and want to support its author, I can do it directly without paying the costs and profits of the company of intermediaries in the chain. Other Bulgarian books - when I was a kid, our house in Plovdiv could boast of a large collection of books. For this and read a lot - often one book per day. Bulgarian lawmakers to question - if I read online book which was purchased by me or my family, breaking the law? Copyright and distribution costs have already been paid by me. Gentlemen or intermediaries would be willing to pay each time ?? Furthermore, again as a child, c wonder I was a regular member of the Plovdiv Public Library - first child department, then the "big" more time and would even readers fee. Am I breaking the law or not ... Translation books - when a translated book interested c wonder me enough and I decide to buy it, I have two choices: either order it from Bulgaria, or to look for in the United States in the original. Taking the example of "Mirror Dance" Lois McMaster Bujold. Search results on Bulgarian online bookstores - zero. The book did not sell at all and does not appear in anyone's catalog. Apparently I have to try to "Diplomatic immunity" by the same author. The book was published on the website of Bard priced 7.99 lev asking c wonder price for delivery to USA, come across information that I get 20% discount on the book and the delivery of a book coming out 13 lev far 19.39 lev True Baltic countries, however, came from else - the only way I can pay to the Bard is bank transfer. American bank charged me a fee of $ 40 for outgoing wire transfers. Ie, the price of a book jumps to 83.39 lev - a price that I would pay for a book. That book is priced at $ 7.99 with free delivery amazon.com (brand c wonder new) or $ 1 + $ 2.95 delivery c wonder abebooks.com (used). I am financially literate and know what you prefer in this case - to buy the book in the original for 6.32 lev of ABE. Thus, Bulgarian publishers can not have lost money from me, just because they do not pay them would generally not due to economic advantage.
What was the top account - publishers and distributors crying that they have lost millions of levs from readers in libraries, but actually is not. Can not be counted as lost finances that your potential customers would not pay you anyway c wonder - at least in a market economy where the customer has a choice! Well then Steve Jobs to take Microsoft to sue for loss of earnings - how not to shame customers c wonder to pay money when Windows can comfortably less money to buy Mac OS. Yes, but the choice is in the hands of those customers - and they are not impressed especially by complaints like "And what will we pay our bills." Lord businessmen communism ended. If you want income, think of ways to make their products attractive and cheaper for the customer. Otherwise, the customer will find other options and anyway you will be without income. Another example - yesterday I had a song. I looked c wonder in the iTunes Store - I paid 99 cents for it. Yes, I did. The song is not sold separately because it is 11 minutes, and someone is not afraid to sell it at a loss - should be bought as part of the album, which costs $ 9.99, but that there are other songs that interest me. Well, I think this song is not worth $ 10, so I went to hear the online library and its distributors lost me one dollar, which otherwise I would give them willingly. It is time to change business models and law!
