One is that the publishers make a system (or systems) that will give the people easier access to texts better put together than there are on Darknet soon, and this system will grow into something people become accustomed to, like Windows or iTunes.

The other is that is won't happen - then next generation will know the Net well enough so everybody will be able to access the texts without any problems, enough good search engines and programs will be made, freeware, that it'll be easy to access any title by simply writing it, like on Google, and everyone's acceptance of that will grow to the point when the laws will observe the reality and adjust to it. Then no one will pay any money to make ebooks - or paper books.
What I see as far as the darknet is concerned is that most eBooks being shared were eBooks that were not available when they were being first shared. So if publishers were to release more books as eBooks, then the need to create illegal eBooks would not happen as much.
