...And that's a solid argument. Cuts right through the bullpoop about sales lost due to piracy.
Actually, now that I think about it, I wonder how many people would actually purchase an ebook if they couldn't find it on their favourite pirate site? I don't have any data to back this up but I have a feeling the answer is "not many" because most people who download pirated material do it because they don't want to spend money on buying it. At least, thats what I think.
