I've been collecting technical books for at least the past 10 years while
the fiction books are all just 1-2 years old. If publishers wouldn't have
been so greedy with ebooks I would have probably bought the books instead
of pirating them. When I see on Amazon, Kobo an the like prices like
10-15£ for a fiction book or 150£ for a technical book I always wonder
who pays that kind of money for one file with DRM on top."

Why do people think they're only paying for format instead of talking about paying for the effort put into creating the content? Do people think it's easy to create fictional worlds and characters?

Books are not the only media I pirate. I have all the music I ever wanted;
some from my own CDs but most from the napster and allofmp3 era. I don't
pirate music anymore - there's nothing new out there that I want. I can
play non-stop 2 months worth of music without repeating a song. My music
also accompanies me where-ever I am. I can redirect the music to any room
of my house and my car computer synchronises wirelessly when in the driveway
so I have my entire collection on the road.
I pirate console games too, I have hundreds of burned PS2 and Wii DVDs and
some 5000 DS games. I don't play games anymore - it's a terrible loss of time,
I used to years ago but now I'm just collecting them."

I appreciate your post, because after all the BS finally somebody is here to represent the "I just like free things" group which comprises most of the pirates.
