But they cannot deserve their share from a sale if they are not actually selling the product. I do not really see how you are morally required to pay to somebody that potentially can make a product available. I said the author because I assumed ha had the rights but maybe it is the publisher or somebody else. But my point is that it seems very arbitrary to argue that to buy the eBook if it becomes available is the right thing to do. I think the argument that if people are not making the product available they are losing the sale is as convincing. Or that the right thing is to privately pay the person or entity having the rights to publish the thing. And so on.
