Obtuse?
...
Oh, that's just the sarcasm fairy. He hangs around my posts a bit.
I wasn't discussing the morals though, I was discussing the practical effects. You can't stop these things leaking to the Darknets (I refer you to Microsoft's paper on this, again), and that means no legal electronic version is choosing to forgo a certain amount of revenue which she would otherwise make. It IS her choice, after all.
But trying to pretend that "concern" will stop some people getting ebooks of her work is rather silly at this point in time. That's all.
Actually, there is one pretty bright point - while I haven't worked on a Harry Potter game, friends of mine have and apparently (unlike some more tech-savvy authors) she doesn't demand contract clauses to allow her to meddle with their development. Heh.
