He probably means that there are freaks out there who scan the paper version, OCR it, and make an eBook out of it, and then spread it on the 'net.

I'd not even *think* about putting the time into that. I've "recreated" an eBook from such a source. It took me many hours, even though I didn't have to do the OCR. It was a 1200 page book of which there is no ebook version; I already have the hardcover. I won't do such a thing ever again, let alone even having to OCR it *shudder*. I'd rather just buy the hardcover.
