people pirate ebooks and everything else because they don't see any sense in paying pay for something when it can be acquired discretely and instantly from the comfort of their own home.
No, people are doing it because it is easier or the product is better. Price isn't really much of an issue at all. What people want is properly proof read books without any silly restrictions on what they can do with them either now or in the future.
