I can understand that... But let's say you "press" 100.000 books. Once those are all sold, the 100.001 customer can't download it anymore because the publisher doesn't own the rights anymore (and thus can't sell it anymore). What will that person do? Wait for the rights to be figured out again? And a new batch will be able for download? As I think that is what will happen (knowing what I know about publishers here...)
I live in a country with one of the highest penetration of broadband internet, but it seems a lot of people still don't know what internet is...
