I find the last paragraph the most telling and something I have never considered.
Quote:
Perhaps. But remember, the publishing industry is perfectly happy with the print business model…which often sees 40-50% of its product unsold, returned or destroyed. That’s after the publisher has already incurred the costs of printing, shipping and warehousing those unsold books, too.
Maybe the pirates aren’t the industry’s biggest problem.
