And the marketplace responded by pirating each and every one of her books.

You know, had she consented to releasing ebook versions, some people would STILL have chosen to pirate ebook versions, but at least she'd have made SOME ebook sales. As it is, millions of people have read the Harry Potter series in ebook format and she's not made one single dime of royalties off those ebooks.

Talk about penny-wise and pound-foolish.
