Let me propose a question. When Harry Potter 7 was released, we saw a lot of people on this forum piously proclaim that of course the only reason they were reading a illegal copy of this book was that it wasn't available as an legal e-Book.

Suppose Ms. Rowling were to have a change of heart and permit all 7 HP books to be released as e-Books. What proportion of the people who have illegal copies of them do you believe would buy the legal versions?
