Does anyone else see a parallel between the clearly falacious linking of hardcover customers and eBook users to the music and movie industries supposed "false dollar losses" claims against piracy?
I know we're not talking the same thing here - claiming lost hardcover sales vs eBook purchases is diffferent from claiming loss of sales due to piracy. But the flavour and desperation of such a claim, one whose assumptions appear to have been so easily countered in this thread, seems almost to have come from the same mind-bending PR gurus that manufactured the recording industry claims to get sympathy for their anachronistic DRM and pricing schemes - and we have seen we're that ended!
Perhaps it's a desperate sign the publishers can see the writing on the wall (no pun intended)?
