Absolutely correct. But it is a business decision, just like the asking price.

In other words, the copyright holder also has to face the realities of the marketplace.

If there is demand, but no legal (or reasonably priced) supply, you'll end up with "illegal" (or "pirated") supply.

So, the copyright holder can either participate in the marketplace, or try to skew it, by suing 12-year olds for reading PDFs of Harry Potter.
