However, Meyer also posts a link to part of the draft in the same post. Speaking of which, how exactly do publishers think they’re going to beat the system that has plagued music and movies when eReaders become popular…? Good night and good luck!) (I guess that will teach her a harsh lesson… giving that manuscript out will turn out to be a million dollar mistake. This has been a very upsetting experience for me, but I hope it will at least leave my fans with a better understanding of copyright and the importance of artistic control.
No matter how this is done, it is still dishonest. Unfortunately, with the Internet, it is easy for people to obtain and share items that do not legally belong to them.
Just because someone buys a book or movie or song, or gets a download off the Internet, doesn’t mean that they own the right to reproduce and distribute it. As the author of the Twilight Saga, I control the copyright and it is up to the owner of the copyright to decide when the books should be made public this is the same for musicians and filmmakers. I think it is important for everybody to understand that what happened was a huge violation of my rights as an author, not to mention me as a human being. I did not want my readers to experience Midnight Sun before it was completed, edited and published. This book tells the same story as Twilight (the first book) but from the perspective of the vampire, Edward. On her site, Stephanie admits that the manuscript, Midnight Sun, is an incomplete version of her next project. Now that Twilight has done so well I did some inspection, and here’s what I found… She even told me of a manuscript that was leaked that she was excitedly reading as an addition to the series. Being that I’m the grumpiest reader in all the land, I ignored it. This summer my girlfriend was all a-twitter (not the social media site) about the Twilight Series.
