So far I have seen no convincing argument that it won't happen, and plenty of evidence from the music industry that it will.

Since prices have risen (overall) on eBooks, it makes it harder to b able to afford all I want to read. I have gone the route of spitting the cost. Now, a few people may be reading one eBook. But that one eBook is a sale that very well may not have occurred. Would the publishers rather we didn't share or would they rather not have the sale?
