At least you should get 50% in a healthy world order. A downloader may have taken 0.45 from you but your publisher steals 3.3 per copy. (If there is book for 7.5 that is 6%, which I doubt if you can get a good book for that much.)
Let me know your book's name, I check if I accidentally downloaded and I am glad to pay 0.45 per book, but I would not have purchased it for the price of a paper book or a hardback anyway.
I don't think downloaders steal author's money. If a book was downloaded wrongfully 1,000,000 times it still does not mean that you could have sold more than 10,000 without free downloaders.
ONCE AGAIN, I CAN'T COMPREHEND (MY WIFE NEITHER) YOU GET 0.5 PER COPY and it's the fault of downloaders that you don't have money?

I will never in a million years tell you pirates what I've done. It wouldn't matter to you anyway, you're justifying Piracy. All I can say is I'm glad I use a different name. "...A million people download it...it doesn't impact you." Horse shit if I've ever heard it. What do you think people write for? Candy? And the quotes you used were from me talking about print media. genius. Copyright doesn't just refer to the interweb and you leet hax0rz.
As a side note, I started off this conversation being a pro reader author. I specifically went with a publisher with an eBook sales model. I have notice how a few bad apples have spoiled this barrel. I quit reading this long ago, and Im only posting this because this was the newest thread in news.
It is obvious to me that in spite of all the good discussion I've seen, rational people tend not to steal anyway, and so what's left? Will I try to convince a bunch of thieves they're wrong? Think they'll change their minds? Not when they get some else's work for free.
