Summary: 


Till reading one of his articles on the net, I had never heard of
Dave Barry, nor was I likely to hear of him otherwise.
Nor did I have access to his articles.

So my reading pirated Dave Barry columns did not subtract from the
profits of the Miami Herald (or whoever employs him), and if I go
to th'USA, I shall doubtless buy the Miami herald in preference to
any other.

And if a book by Dave Barry were to appear in a shop over here,
I would certainly buy it.

Perhaps the distribution of such pirated articles should be restricted
to the u.k?
Distribution: uk   (just in case my suggestion is taken seriously)
