They can't get over this idea (probably fed to them by publishers desperate to hang onto them) that they are losing $10billion of income every time one of their books appears on a pirate site.
When you ask if they would rather someone reads their book for free or reads someone else's book for free they sometimes get it, but it depends on how how rationally they think. The idea of losing $10billion of income is very upsetting for a writer who is only making $100 a week in royalties.
