Cheryl Kaye Tardif issues a challenge to book pirates

So the great book piracy debate is still churning stomachs over at JA Konrath's blog, especially now that his "experiment" has proven one thing: Joe knows how to sell books. Something I didn't doubt for a minute.

Since his experiment is rather skewed in one direction--for piracy--I thought I'd had my own "control" side. I'm issuing my own "experiment" or challenge to book pirates...if they dare to take the challenge.

Konrath says "steal this book"; Tardif says "please don't steal mine"

Here's a bit from my most recent post:

This is my recent reply on JA Konrath's blog where piracy pros and cons are still being discussed. I am a bit concerned about new authors taking everything Joe says to heart without looking into the issue--illegal copyright theft and sharing. As much as I respect Joe for his marketing abilities, I am not sold on his argument that since we can't fight them we should embrace piracy and do nothing, turn a blind eye. I'm just not wired that way, and I'm not alone.
