Editorial - Lima, July 1999
" ... and the aroma of insomnia coffee with his wet, dark, intense. " Washington Delgado.
I find it difficult to assume that there is a tiny number of readers Lima that have not ever bought a pirated book, either out of respect for rights the author, for fear of their own conscience or because they are on the money. It is to say NO to piracy does become a laudable act of civic considering the high cost of any copy in bookstores and gift extremely tentative prices that we offer the vendors step pirate (always red lights every corner). In addition, because through such heroic attitude can still subsite old bookstores and some publishing houses in our area.
However, without wishing to justify piracy, I think it's lack of popular editions (paperback, a " pueblilibros" , etc.) Which feeds much of that dark parallel market. Imagine
, referring to the International Book Fair Lima (event you are looking for readers reach the most significant works of local and foreign publishers), another Book Fair Pirate. In matters of sales, I imagine the second successful: people crammed arranchándose copies of the most renowned authors and the latest scientific translations into English. And in a matter of readers would be easy to think that anyone buying cheap editions to turn into a particular library, or as a luxurious gift, but to actually read them, therefore, we would estimate that the second fair is also a large margin exceed the first. As for the trade side events: at the fair also imagined would lack the concerts, concerts, lectures, although they do not have any position with authors willing to autograph copies. But would it be possible Bookmobile as part of activities in both shows?: Impossible goals of both events would continue pointing always to the sale.
Seen this way, I think the main concern against piracy should focus on promoting reading, particularly among children and young people so that eventually, everyone - publishers, consumers, authors and readers - can reap the I get dragged off the culture, for example, the entrenchment of values, including respect for intellectual property.
