Are you actually serious? I honestly can't tell if you mean this statement as a joke or not. If you really are serious about this, you've just lost me as a customer, at any rate. What an offensive thing to say in a thread where dozens, including me, have said that we do pay for our books, we want to pay for them, and all we want is for the publishing industry to set up mechanisms where we can do this in a fair and encumbered way. If you meant this statement as a joke, please clarify what exactly you are getting at here because honestly, I'm a little offended.
