As the the sale of ebooks grows, so does the pirating of them. That shouldn't be a big surprise. The author of that article was pretty reasonable. In fact he seemed to be pretty resigned to the idea that there's not much that can be done, and was merely musing on about what it means overall. Seems understandable that an author who comes across this for the first time would want to write his thoughts on it.

I don't think ebook and music piracy are quite the same. Not only are the user demographics a bit different (or at least the personality types imo), but so are the means of consumption and available alternatives. How these differences are going to matter is anyone's guess, but I suspect that the impact will be less with ebooks.
