While I'm sure you and all the editors who post here on MR are perfect and infallible, I assure you, I have many print books on my shelf from before the Internet was ever conceived that are rife with errors.

And I'm with Steven on the philosophy. It's one thing to make business decisions on the realities of piracy, it another to foment the idea that piracy is OK or justified for the ridiculously self-important reasons given.

Example: "I am not concerned with the piracy of my books because I don't feel that I'm losing that much money." That's a business decision.

"You should not be concerned about the piracy of your books because I don't think you are losing that much money." That's just a selfish attempt at justifying an illegal act, and it is likely to sway no one.
