I can’t remember who’s blog/twitter/whatever I got this from, let me know if it was you. It’s a nice, short, “long read.”
UPDATE: It was from Colleen. Thanks Colleen!
Make good stuff, then make it easy for people to buy it. There’s your anti-piracy plan.

Hey Carleton, I love Tina Fey's Rules of Improv. They are copyrighted, no? Because I would love to share them with my team at work but do you know, would I need to get from the publisher permission first?
AnonymousI posted Tina Fey’s Rules of Improv directly from her book Bossypants, published by Little, Brown and Company, without any permission, but I don’t suggest you do the same.
Please welcome Bullseye with Jesse Thorn.
Bullseye is an hour of the good stuff in popular culture. Recommendations from people in the know, in-depth interviews with creators and original comedy. No bullshit. Only things that are great.
I’m really proud of the work we’ve done to put this thing together, and I think you’ll love it. Best of all: it’s absolutely free.
You can listen to our first episode online now. It features some picks from the AV Club, an interview with three castmembers from the amazing British TV drama Downton Abbey, a conversation with the Australian comedian-writer-actor Chris Lilley about his new show Angry Boys (which just premiered on HBO), and musician Dan Deacon on the song that changed his life.
You can also grab Bullseye free (and subscribe to the free podcast) in iTunes.
Listen! Tell somebody! This is big!
Jesse puts a lot of care into his shows. Strongly recommended for all other podcast junkies.
