The poll didn't present them as an either/or. It simply asked which was the more important focus for the seller's efforts.

You are an ebook author, selling your wares online. Do you spend more time and effort promoting your books so potential readers are aware you exist, and striving to provide books they will feel are well crafted and worth buying? Or do you spend more time worring about how to prevent people from pirating your work?

I know which way I think you jump, and I'd guess you've already voted.
