One thing that is very legal but damaging to the author/publisher is lending pBooks.
I buy a pBook, I read it, I pass it on to all my family. I get the book back and I give it to a friend saying I don't want it back. This friend then passes it along and gives it away. Then it again makes the rounds. This can keep going on and on and it's all legal. |

That was a rather stupid court case to the record industry. Because of Napster, sales of music was up. I think it was around 20%. Napster was stopped and sales dropped. Sharing is not always bad for business.
