Just to play devil's advocate ...

Exactly. Even when "honest" people can buy/pay, they don't.

Example. They build up a nice library for their eink Kindle using the Amazon garden (buying from Amazon). Then they buy a much better Kobo. They strip the DRM from all the Amazon books and copy them to their Kobo. Some people do this for thousands of books; the dirty little thieves.
