- Publishers unwilling to issue backlists as ebooks
- Publishers trying to stiff authors financially, resulting in authors not willing to have ebook editions released
- Books are available for sale in e-format in one country but not in another
- Customers penalized with closed accounts if they try purchase an ebook from another country where it is legally sold
...and they wonder why the Dark Side exists and thrives.
Businesses and their ad agencies have created a culture of immediate gratification, and customers have come to expect to be able to buy what they want, whenever they want it. Then the archaic media industries create artificial roadblocks that hold both the creators and the customers hostage and prevent the legal sale of merchandise the customer is willing to buy. Then they cry "unfair" and "piracy" when their customer base becomes fed up with their antics and decide to take matters into their own hands.
