Well, I'm not yet convinced that there aren't good answers out there, so I'm holding off on upending the table. (But maybe not for long, now that I know which of my 2 e-books have been Darknetted...)

One cannot answer a question, if one does not know the question. I think the reason we don't have any answers is, we're asking the wrong questions. "Can e-Publishing Overcome Copyright Concerns?" May be the wrong question entirely. Copyright is useless unless the public backs it up with deeds and supported laws. e-Publishing needs to win over the public, to solve their copyright concerns.

Maybe what we should be asking is: "Can publishing regain the trust and respect of the public, to guarantee an industry that is honest and beneficial to both sides?"
