I didn't mean to suggest otherwise. Only that if someone does it non-profit, it's still taking money out of my pocket, and if someone does it for profit, the terms of what I'm allowed to get are decided by some beauracrat or politician, not by my contract. More specifically, it states that while the prices in developed countries can be expected to be close to equivalent to what my book usually sells for, in developing countries it can be expected to be much, much less.
