Well, now...
How sizeable is sizeable?
I don't think it is all that big compared to the commercial market and it had better *not* ever get that all big.
It is hard enough fending the multinationals fake "piracy is killing us" stories when piracy is small, if it ever *really* becomes sizeable...
Don't think it is a good idea to be puffing up the numbers of ebook pirates.
Besides, there is plenty of legally free and cheap content to keep most of us "cheapskates" satisfied.
