To me, if I'm going through all the work of digitizing a book (not an insignificant task with consumer-grade scanners), I might as well just grab it from the Darknet. Same result, much less work.
I wonder how many people who have never used the 'Darknet' would be inclined to use it if it were extremely easy to use and there was no chance of getting caught.
I imagine there's a population of readers who don't have an ethical issue with using the 'Darknet' but at the same time are intimidated by a new and potentially dangerous activity.
