Pardoz: The instances where book publishers or retailers are selling content without the rights, and without delivering royalties, is rare to the point of near-total irrelevance.
For example, the "Orwell" issue was actually more of a misunderstanding about international rights and public domain; it was not an explicit and intentional attempt on anyone's part to violate copyright. The situation was also clearly exceptional.
I.e. I am categorically rejecting your position that "publishers are the 'real' pirates." It's a position I can't even take seriously, really.
