would agree with you, and move on. However, that is not what we want to do
as a movement. We don't try to take advantage, but we want to build upon
works. We want to collaborate and stand on the shoulders of giants. Giants
like this little girl.
But that is exactly what you are doing. A publisher can fight for the
right to make a buck
without WP's help. A book of the diary costs a few pence, far less then
the cost of the
paper and ink for individual printing it. A digital copy is still a far
inferior offering from a
book version. I'm not sure that many actually prefer works like this as
a pdf, html, or any
other format over the book.
