You try to o it legal. You want to do it legal. But the publisher won't allow it.

The Modesitt Recluse series is a good example. In this instance both the publisher and the author can lose out because the only way to read the entire series is to either purchase paperback editions or purchase used hardbound copies and the used copies are often less expensive than the paperback versions. If one goes the used route, then neither the publisher nor the author receive anything -- yet this is a perfectly legal and legitimate route to take, especially if you are a collector.
