The other thing, too, is you've got to look at where the downloads occur. If it's a North American title and the downloads occurred in Romania, I'm not that worried about it if I'm a publisher. It actually, if anything, says to me I should be moving my English language rights and my translation rights faster.

In theory, a publisher could use the data about piracy to target specific books for specific markets to make sure ebooks are made available in the places they're wanted. It's an interesting perspective.
