Thanks for filling in the blank.
The Pirates are always having a field day, even if e-books dropped to like 99 cents, there would still be extential pirating of books. I think the media industri as a whole must reconsider the way they distribute things.

Instead of charging per item, they need to start looking into membership systems. Let me pay $14.99 or $19.99 a month, and let me download all the movies, tv-series and music and e-books I want. I would love something like that. Today, I am spending a fortune on DVD's, CD's and boxed seasons of series. Not too mention e-books. And yeah, I do ocationaly happen to download something I really shouldnt....
