Are you selling e-books? Yes. Do you see a great impact of having your books on the darknet? No.
So ... it is possible to transact business and still make a profit.
Okay, interpret me as being silly and slow: What is the problem with the current law and system? The concrete probleme.

As was discussed a few pages back, my situation is not a good one to hold up to this particular light: I am not famous; I am not in print; I am not making my livelihood on my books; and therefore I am not one who is
potentially losing a significant part of my income/profit through copyright infringement.
The final point is the concrete problem. And yes, at this point in my writing "career," I do not suffer this problem. That does not mean others, especially published authors, are as lucky.
I was not seeking to claim that this situation is costing
me anything. I am trying to come to an understanding of why there is a copyright concern among publishers, why it should concern consumers as well, and what (if anything) can be done to mitigate those concerns and satisfy publishers and consumers alike.
Do you believe the system is fine the way it is? Why are you in this thread? You could have simply answered the thread's question with "Yes," "No," or "Who cares?" and moved on. You must agree that there is a problem worth discussing here. What do you think the problem is?
