Buying the Cow
According to Steve Holden’s blog, Monty Python decided to give away their complete works on the internet.
Their sales would plummet, you say? Think again.
They must have had miniscule sales to begin with? Think again.
So how do you explain having a 200% increase in sales when people can have your content for free?

Simple, People download a few videos, love it, and then decide to save a whole lot of otherwise irreplaceable time by just buying whole DVD loads of it at an actual store.
Remember, every second that you lose downloading something is a second that you can never get back for any price.
Have a blessed day.

Thinking In Java has always been one of the best-selling Java books, and I’m pretty sure that’s because it was made available for free.
