A lot of people think that if they download a pirated copy of a book, it will be easy to sell. The reality can't be different; who would buy it? It is estimated that about one-third of all English language books are pirated. These numbers are not surprising when you consider the huge demand for literary works in countries like Saudi Arabia where there is no copyright protection. In this article, we will look at one successful instance where a man used piracy to find success and then share his findings with the world. Hikmat Mahdi was born in the small city of Jeddah in Saudi Arabia. He went to college to study engineering, but then he changed his mind and wanted to attend law school. He dropped out of school, however, and decided to become a writer. His first book was published in 1981; it is called "The Virgin King" He got up at 6:30 every morning and went through the manuscript he had written. He wrote for four hours every day until he was finished with his work. The book didn't sell well--about 300 copies--and when he came back to Jeddah he started working on another book with the same title that would be published three years later. Mahdi began working in a small magazine company. He worked on magazine articles and wrote his own articles. Even though the magazine was successful, he often had to wait for months before his work was printed. One day, Mahdi decided that he needed to publish newspapers before he could publish magazines. He asked the owner of the newspaper whether they would like to publish one of his stories and they accepted it. It was an idea which was executed perfectly; after publishing one story in the newspaper, it garnered a large amount of publicity and brought him an increase in advertising revenue and readership. His second book "The Virgin King: The Story of Abdalla Al Hazziz" sold about 3,000 copies. Mahdi had found success in his publishing venture, but something was still missing. He wanted to publish books out of print, but the only way he would be able to do that is if he bought copies from abroad. The problem with that idea was that the books would cost him a lot of money and it's not like he could buy all of them, since there are millions of books in this country alone. It wasn't until 1997 when Mahdi found his solution. One night, he started surfing the internet looking for information about publishing when he came across an article about people who were downloading pirated copies of books over the internet. They were getting away with it because there is no legitimate royalty system in Saudi Arabia. Mahdi had found his answer. He decided to make a website where he would upload PDF copies of books he owns. In the beginning, Mahdi was downloading books from other sites, but after a while he started buying books from companies outside the country and uploading them onto his site. He had just created an online bookstore and now people could download PDF versions of books without paying for it! Mahdi had now created a method that would allow him to spread knowledge and culture throughout the world by making knowledge accessible and affordable to everyone at the same time. He continued this venture and soon discovered that there were other people who were pirating his own books as well as those of James Joyce, Salman Rushdie, Hemingway, etc... cfa1e77820
