Writing for the sake of writing - Cory Doctorow

I was scanning through the Scientific Indian Blog when I came across an artwork for a bookcover which looks like Dave Mckean's. Went to the site and discovered Cory Doctorow, an science fiction author who publishes his work for free online, AND allows people from developing countries to make copies, movies, translations, plays etc from his books and charge money for them. In return he only asks that his work is not altered. Not a single cent is required.

I think this is a very generous and noble act instead. No wonder Dave Mckean did the artwork (hmm... I wonder did Dave do it for free?).

This is the link to Doctorow's site - Someone Comes To Town, Someone Leaves Town

Enjoy.
