It's either people are super obtuse, or greedy, or both. Anyone knows the difference between a 500-ishK digital file and a book that requires ongoing materials, storage and manpower to create. Publishers have to be aware that people just aren't that thick.

A digital file just copies itself forever and ever ad infinitum. The work is all front-loaded pretty much - done. I wish I had some magic beans that did that with the stuff I create, but I had to go and get good at yarn crafts. If someone takes a snowflake Christmas tree ornament I crocheted, its taken. Another one isn't sitting right there as if no stock had moved. I have to get my fingers and tiny thread and make another one. Because one = one. Not an infinite amount.
