I agree with Alexie on a few fronts. The despicable "open source" culture that pervades the internet and 75% of the world's population, especially in Asia, will lead to fewer incentives to innovate and to create. I have no doubt that book pirating will become as bad as music pirating once books go all digital. Sure, you can digitize a paper book and sell it illegally in paper or digital form.....but the consumers of that pirated copy will have a new powerful tool in which to steal: the ebook.
This is why ebooks must have ironclad DRM.
