Reporting helps us out a lot. We can't scour every thread for infractions. Tools.- This is what you see a lot of people using in their flair to indicate their level of proficiency in various languages. Thanks for that, I honestly appreciate it. I looked inside the appropriate torrents and our course did not make it in those, so that's good. Most of what I see in there are catalog products from big publishers. More or less run by people who probably don't even know they published it and never learned a foreign language and their life.There may be a few ones in there from smaller companies or individuals.
I know some people who download do sense the difference between big publishers and small teams or individually just earning a living from it. I get the free information / open source debate too. At the same time, I wouldn't have been able to put 4 years into my program if people were not paying for it. So someone's got to fund it by 'hiring' us for all those years to develop it. We get maybe $5 or $10 every few months as donations for our free course content. Not exactly workable on voluntary contributions.
Any bit helps, though! Any encouragement to eventually buy stuff downloaded this way is much appreciated from us little guys. I absolutely don't care if people who can't afford it download it and use it.

We give away free copies all the time and it's usually clear who needs it and why it's important. We're actually looking at free for libraries and students. On the other hand, if you're making 6 figures and buying a vacation home in some exotic country, paying someone 1/10,000th of what it takes to make a course so you can have it all laid out for you in an easy way, well that's a different situation.That's the other thing. Who cares about a Spanish product torrent? Millions of people think it'd be nice to learn it.
But if you are learning Samoan, you're more likely to have a damn good reason and there are like maybe 100 people on earth per year willing to buy that. Not exactly room for much leeway in missed sales if that makes sense. Pimsleur Spanish, fine. Try googling Spanish and see if you find a torrent link. Samoan and it's some guy's life's achievement?
Anyway, I have my own opinions on all this. Thanks for checking in and on behalf of my wife and myself, we do appreciate it a lot. Thanks.Sorry for the rant, just something we think about a lot and totally see both sides. I just end up on the side that lets me do something I love and would love to make it my job again if I can.
