Well - see music, mp3-player and music piracy..

It's like comparing the impact of piracy in the music industry in 1990 vs 2000.
Well - provide some proof that piracy was hindering the music industry in the year 2000. I did not find a single study indicating this - but multiple stating a quite different result.
Yes, books and music are not the same - still the same (provide high quality, good service, reasonable pricing) is true for music and books - after all I could get the same music for free (whether I listen to it only once or multiple times is irrelevant - and concert tickets are not that high a factor).
