@lfalabs You know, in Brazil, when you go to, say, some release party, author provide you with his autograph for free if you buy the book.

The !fsf charges US$ 30 for Mr @rms autograph. | Regular book: US$ 20 http://ur1.ca/4e48w | Signed book: US$ 50 http://ur1.ca/9yf8f
-
The signature is worth more than the book itself :-/

@mbjunior There's a danger in it, i believe. Certainly most of that money goes to @fsf, but @rms good name can be burned by ill fame. :-o

@mbjunior Are you seriously implying the $30 goes into @rms's pocket? It's fund-raising for a non-profit org.

Seems reasonable to me.

@x11r5 I see you're swaying to the dark side.

@thistleweb I bet @x11r5 would blame those tiny mice.

@mjjzf ok there's reason for you; this is surreal to me; a word for US$ 30 and a whole book from the very same person for US$ 20
-
@mbjunior “Happy Hacking!” is not a word, it's *two* words, so it's just $15 each ;-)

that’s how you can earn money in a world of unlimited copying. That signature has emotional value: rms thanks you, and you support them.

Howard Taylor from schlockmercenary.com makes a living selling his webcomic as books - with bonus story, scribble and signature. Fans buy.

@lfalabs My first point is about selling autographs; second point is about proportionality.

@lfalabs And I'm talking about great authors.

@mbjunior If you want to donate money to the #FSF, you have the option of getting a signed book as well. Honestly, what's the problem?

@mbjunior which shows your points are just missing the point. those are goods for fund raising.

@mbjunior !emacs is a pretty nice piece of computer-readable prose. But he can’t really sign that :)

@mbjunior it gives the people something of emotional value in return for their contribution. Combined with info why the money helps

@zoowar Miss Vickie was the one he married on TV. Far out, man.
-
What's more far out is that the video made it to you tube.
-
@mbjunior no, you are talking about popular authors, who sell loads of books & are celebrities themselves

@zoowar sooner or later, doesn't *everything* make it to YouTube?

@theru It's any ps/2 keyboard that doesn't serve alcohol? Is it 5 out of 5

@x11r5 :( only have usb keyboards so I don't know would be awesome tho

@x11r5 It's QWERTY keyboards that don't serve alcohol. You shouldn't have any problems with AZERTY ones

@expatpaul I am #flabbergasted at my ignorance. OTOH, I am inscius https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/inscius

@inscius I am rather embarrased to admit that I had never wondered what your name meant. Maybe I should be inscius :-/

@inscius Or Unavoidable, which is what autocorrect came up with ;-)

@expatpaul I still can't be bothered. I'm a proper lazy bastard.

actually 1 autograph ~= ∞ ebooks :-) but that’s ok.

Check what "cult of personality" does. → RD @cyberkiller @mbjunior no, you are talking about popular authors

This guy → @cyberkiller for example, is delirious and assuming things just to defend his "messiah".
