Obscurity is a bigger problem for authors than piracy.
Obscurity is a far greater threat to authors and creative artists than piracy.
Piracy is not the problem, obscurity is.
The big problem isn’t piracy, it’s obscurity.
The problem for most artists isn't piracy, it's obscurity.
Obscurity is a bigger problem than money.
The biggest problem almost all comics face is not piracy or demographics or any of that nonsense: it's obscurity.
I realised that you can never legislate away from piracy. Laws can definitely help, but it doesn't take away the problem. The only way to solve the problem was to create a service that was better than piracy and at the same time compensates the music industry - that gave us Spotify.

There is a problem in Washington, and the problem is bigger than a continuing resolution. It is bigger than Obamacare. It is even bigger than the budget. The most fundamental problem and the frustration is that the men and women in Washington aren't listening.
I have gone from local obscurity to national obscurity to international obscurity. Once I learn how to monetize obscurity, I will be rich.

The problem with ebook filesharing is simply one of scale. But I think the "piracy" problem is massively over-rated.
I don't think it's fair to pinpoint Asia in terms of piracy. It's a worldwide problem. With 'The Expendables 3,' piracy extended everywhere, and over 10 percent of it was in the United States. So I don't want to put my hands over my eyes. It's a shame there is no DVD business in a lot of Asia, certainly China and India.
The U.S. government is saying that my website enabled piracy when the entire Internet is enabling piracy. Every ISP that connects people to the Internet is enabling piracy - Google is, YouTube is, everybody is.
As authors, we're all trying to fight against obscurity and outside distractions, but it's a tough battle.
Is my strike zone bigger than others? Yeah. It might be bigger than others, but I don't have a problem with it.
