The last three posts seem to be intentionally missing the point. I'll respond once more then drop the subject, as I think I've clearly explained PK cryptography and anyone interested in learning how it works can research it on their own.
@Ilasram: Publishers never give you the key. You never give them the key. There is a public encryption key and a private decryption key. That's the very heart of the system. You've misunderstood the system at it's fundamental level.
@moz: anyone can see what? No one can log into my webmail and read my emails except me, unless I give away my password. I'm not sure what would induce me to do that, but yes... if I choose to give away my password, people could read my email. But, here's the point, they couldn't read YOUR email with my password. The system isn't broken.
If you say "once you have your email you can copy it and forward it", yes, that's a "given" and I've already conceded that point at least half a dozen times already. Please re-read the thread.
@sanders: since all my books are encrypted with my key, publishers could easily track me down if I decided to post all my books in a torrent with the message "and here's my key". That would take a pretty dimwitted pirate. The path to piracy would be to first decrypt all your books and then to post the decrypted versions. And to repeat, again, I know it's not piracy-proof, no system can be. Please re-read the thread.
