How much would the author have lost if only 3 of those 7001 people who downloaded his book actually read it, and the rest just burnt it onto a CDR with thousands of other books and forgot about them? How much would the author have lost if one of those 3 readers then goes on to buy a copy of his next book as soon as it comes out, and the one after that?
Things aren't as black and white as you would like to think.
