I've been a computer geek for several decades now, and while I've never been part of the hacker / cracker culture, I've been exposed to it. And I suspect that the reason you see even your inexpensively priced books in torrents is probably more a matter of "hacker mentality" than because anyone wants to steal your book: someone is getting an egoboost because they're "contributing" a huge archive, or they like having bragging rights about how many books they've "cracked" and uploaded, etc. They all wanna have that "Neo meets Trinity" moment: "oh, you're the one who uploaded
10,000 Science Fiction Classics!"
No, this doesn't make it right.
