Hear hear! I'll respect her decision, in the sense of not using, propagating or otherwise perpetuating unauthorized ebooks of her work for which she is not compensated. But I refuse to respect her for making what I believe to be a self-defeating and seriously sub-optimal decision. On that front, I'll happily tell all and sundry that her choice is making "piracy" more attractive and hurting the very copyright system that allows her to flourish. And that's downright stupid for a person whose income depends on that system.
