Do you really think the most fair system is that each physical book should be purchased, read once, and destroyed?

Piracy will NEVER be harder. Never. Files will never get harder to copy; the internet will never get more slow; media will never be more difficult to share. We are in the age of the 32gb

Any attempt to fix the problems of pay-the-authors (and I admit, we've got some problems) has to start from the premise that digital copies are never going to be any more difficult to exchange than they are right now.
