There are a number of parallels between the price of ebooks now and cigarette prices in Canada a couple of decades ago.
Cigarette prices had risen so high, due to government taxation, smugglers were buying cigarettes at cost in the US and smuggling them back into Canada. At the apogee of the crisis, a surveillance video tape surfaced showing thieves breaking into a convenience store, ignoring the cash register, and sweeping cigarettes into bins.
As prices for ebooks rise, more and more people will turn to the darknet for their ebooks. It is only since the agency 5, (now agency 6), started pricing ebooks higher than pbooks that I have even considered the darknet as an alternative source for books.
