Who are the real thieves here? If he priced his ebook at 50 cents how many people who actually wanted to read it would bother looking for a pirate copy?

The people who read his book and didn't pay for it?
It's $4 frikkin' dollars. If people won't buy it for that, they won't buy it for 50 cents, either.
And publishers, agents, and e-book sellers all provided services to the author. The author was not required to use them. They are not *thieves*.
But, yeah, it makes it easier to justify stealing if you claim that you are really just stealing from thieves. Good luck with that.
