I'm saying that lack of availability encourages it.
Back to Stephen King as an example, he pulled one of his books: Rage. He had good, moral reasons for doing so and I don't believe there has ever been an e-book of it (I could be wrong. This occurred before I was into e-books myself). I would not be surprised to find fan-scanned copies of Rage floating around in the ether.
Does that mean that Stephen King's only recourse is to list the book again? No.
I admit, I don't have the answer. I'm just pointing out what happens.

That is your opinion and you are entitled to it. Not everyone sees things the same way you do.
As for me, I would be less mad at someone for downloading a freebie amateur scan of some long out of print Frank Yerby book than I would with someone who is pirating some recent best seller.
