If there really are zero Italian eBooks available (and forgive me for saying so, but I find that a little hard to believe), it seems as though a major business opportunity exists to fill that gap in the market.
Nobody is saying that authors should "expect" to be paid. What people are saying is that authors have a right to put a price on their work, and customers have a right to buy it at that price, or not to buy it, as they see fit, just as with any other product. You do NOT have the right to say "it's not worth $x, so I'm just going to take it without paying for it".

You really well summarized what i said.
About the zero books: I mean the ones you usually find in brick&mortar libraires.
Of course there are a few independent authors and maybe some small publishers selling a few obscure novels on the net somewhere...
