Yes, think of the analogy of the local library. Would you rather have a library with 10,000 books on hand or one with 1,000,000? You'd want, of course, the library with a million books. You don't want to hear about a book, go to the library, find that they don't have it, and ask them to order a copy. You want to hear about a book, go to the library, and pick it up from the shelf. The goal of pirated book hoarding is to-- whenever you hear about a book, you look in your archives and
you already have it.
