Meanwhile, tens of thousands of titles can be downloaded for free from the torrents, including the latest bestsellers. Must the publishing industry go through a bloodbath and shrink by a third, like the music industry has, before they realize it's not the 19th century any more?

I agree with you. And I'm not sure they're not going yet through a bloodbath. But I prefer lie about my whereabouts and the writer receives money (yes, publisher too, I can't avoid it) than getting it for free and stealing to the writer. And yes, for me it's a robbery, and it's MY opinion, everybody has one.
