The pirate coelho

Unsinkable ThePirateBay decided to arrange an experiment on the promotion of writers, musicians and other creators, whose works may have an idea in electronic form. The meaning of this undertaking is perfectly conveyed by the first “promotable” (or rather, the promoter of this promotion himself) - Paulo Coelho, whose face you can now see on the main one .

“The Pirate Bay has launched a new interesting system today to promote creativity.
Do you have a band? Are you trying to make movies? Humorist? Comic artist?
They will replace the logo on the main page with a link to your work.
As soon as I learned about this idea, I decided to participate. Some of my books are already here, and, as I said in the previous post “My thoughts on SOPA”, sales of paper books began to grow since my readers posted them on P2P sites.
Download my books for free, and if you like them, buy a paper copy — that’s the way to tell the industry that greed leads nowhere.
With love

Yes, everyone knows about the author's hands, but no one has yet done such advertising.
Running ads on the main most popular tracker is a great start for beginners, those who are looking for a way to tell about themselves.
Perhaps Paulo's words will change the opinion of some already popular creators about file sharing, but time will tell.
