So what do they do? They turn to the net to find them and along the way, find other goodies they can get for free. So they do because they are pissed off at the publishers for imposing these restrictions that take away their legally purchased content.

It is so stupid really, they are actively discouraging potential customers by making it less convenient to get a book legally than it is to pirate one, which is silly since one of the more obvious advantages of ebooks over paper editions should be the convenience of getting them since you don't have to wait for delivery.
