Which is fair enough, sort of, and Konrath knows what he's talking about, however, I'm still not happy with the "If it costs more than I like I'm going to nick it" argument.
I also notice that he's changed his stance to "piracy does damage sales, sometimes signficantly" from "Piracy doesn't harm authors", seems like quite a shift to me
