Why shouldn't authors worry about piracy?
Is the unauthorised copying of media, more commonly referred to as 'piracy' really one of the biggest threats to authors and other creatives? Or are there far more important things to be concerned about?
In this final episode of season 1 of Letters & Numbers, we look at the actual financial impacts of piracy, the statistics which show how being overly worried about piracy can actually backfire, and explore who is actually ripping off artists - spoiler alert, it's not those who love to read.
Join author, linguist, and mathematician-in-the-making Sarah on an exploration of the world through the lens of letters and numbers!
And don't forget to subscribe for season 2, where we'll take this focus on money to its logical conclusion and explore the role of finances not just in media, but our lives in general!
