Nice responses. I'm not a published author (yet) but I can feel his pain. I agree MaggieScratch, that he shouldn't sweat the illegal downloads, and instead focus on getting DRM-free legitimate copies into the hands of more readers.

The library analogy is interesting. Once or twice, if I could not buy an ebook for a particular title, I would buy the paper edition, and then go out on the darknet to find the digital. It may be a violation of the law, I suppose, but I am willing to pay the author for the work, and then find a way to get the convenience of an ebook.
