Most people are willing to pay for convenience and safety. Venders like Amazon supply both in abundance. Even if people took non-DRM'd books from Amazon and posted them elsewhere my Father would still go to Amazon for his books. He can barely navigate the Amazon site. I can't imagine him trying to find and download from the darknet. The techy sort might, but there aren't enough of them to worry about, the rest just want a quick, safe download from a known site. They are not interested in searching the web for their books or music. Too many people on this site ARE techies. They just don't understand that what seems simple to them is way past what most are able or willing to do.
