I agree with that. If there is a crack down, it will be against the pirate sites, not individual readers.
The song publishers once sent out thousands of subpoenas to individual downloaders. I remember one was a welfare grandmother whose grandkids were downloading songs to her PC. She had a huge judgment against her.
The negative publicity against the publishers was huge.
I am sure the eBook publishers have learned from the experience of the music publishers.
