No matter how low, you will never get rid of piracy. If the higher prices drive you yourself into piracy, that is your choice and your choice alone. You will also then deal with any consequences and risks that result from that choice.

Since it is inevitable that piracy occurs, selling ebooks unreasonably low will hurt as well.
I didn't say unreasonably low. I said REASONABLE price. Of course there will be piracy. But there will be LESS piracy if eBooks are sold at a REASONABLE price. Agency is unreasonable.
