My POV is that digital books are worth more than print version because of the benefits they offer.
Given the tread topic, the question to rogueconnecticut is, is high price a defensible motivation for piracy?

I think you are putting words in his mouth (though I haven't gone back to read his earlier posts). He said "I would read so much more if a lot of ebooks weren't a ripoff", not "I would pirate less if a lot of ebooks weren't a ripoff".
I would go to more plays if they weren't so expensive. That doesn't imply that I am currently sneaking in the back doors.
