There's the problem right there - if the publishers aren't interested in selling ebooks they're going to pay in the long run. You make an object scare when it has no need to be scarce, then the Pirates will just produce their own and distribute. All they need is the original book and some time. I've just spent half an hour trying to find Banana Yoshimoto in an eBook format, the only place her books are available is the Piratebay. They're creating the Pirates with their stubborness.
(by the by, I didn't download the Yoshimoto books)
