I thought I would throw my two cents into this heated debate. From the point of view of an Indie Author, piracy is pretty much a good thing. It's like a demo version. If anyone is out there reading my stuff, I'm happy about it. I have to be known before I can possibly collect.
I can understand, however, irritation on the part of established authors. They work hard and people value their work. But many can escape without paying, and they will.
In summary, piracy is a small percentage of truly lost sales and benefits the small guys while hurting the big guys somewhat.
