What I am thinking is a bit more simplistic. If I buy an book the Author gets X, the publisher gets Y. II I pirate it, neither the Author or the Publisher get paid. But what does the Author and Publisher get if I borrow a paper book from the Library.. Do they get so much less that they would suffer significantly if EBooks were priced so prohibitively that large numbers of readers chose to borrow from the library instead of purchasing.
