Well, silly me... I guess there are no copyright concerns that e-publishing has to overcome. So, what were we talking about?
Were we talking about why publishers and authors are afraid to release their material electronically, because of the number of people who post their material illegally and cost them a significant part of their income, in clear violation of their copyrights?
Or were we just talking about how great the darknet is for making everyone loads of money? Pogue's article failed to mention all the income he's made from people who downloaded his books from the darknet, then went out and purchased all of his other material... but I guess the omission is understandable.
Anyway, I am going to back slowly away from this sub-thread, with my hands in clear view. Sorry for making such a fuss, Sheriff... I'll see myself out.
