I must say that I find it rather frustrating that (in this case) authors and publishers are not realising what they're purpose is (from my point of view). They're there to provide me with entertainment in the form of words detailing a story.
I do remember not long ago trying to locate a digital copy of the HP eBooks for sale (we already have the pBooks, along with the currently released movies), it took me some time to work out why I could find no store that sold them and only "darknet" sources. I find it utterly bizairre that all these content providers fight so hard to prevent people getting something they want.
Me - I feel nothing other than frustration when I attempt to locate a legitimate source for something I want, only to find it not availble and will happily turn to alternate sources in order to fulfill my wants - in the vain hope that those who make these stupid decisions will come to their senses and give me what I want (at a reasonable price). I have no problems hiring movies from iTunes as they're convenient, reasonably priced and have a great selection. I buy a swag of music too. Much more than I would have spent on CD's/DVDs/BluRays.
Now I'm just a little annoyed that the most brilliantly formatted eBook I have is the Amaericanised version of the very subject matter we're discussing here, not one of the several hundred legitimate eBooks I have are formatted (without OCR'd errors) as well as this version.
