Some people write to earn money, while others write because they want to be read. If piracy hurts the former, perhaps it helps the latter (ie of course, those who manage to get their works published).

Then there are people like me who choose not to buy or steal, and prefer to do without. There are more than enough free e-books available to keep me happy for the foreseeable future. I would never spend money on a book that has DRM. I expect to be able to keep any book that I buy. There are plenty of DRM-free books available, should I ever feel the need to spend any money.
