“The library rarely has the books I want to read.” “I’m poor and I like to read, but I can’t pirate food, so I pirate everything else.” “I limit myself to pirating things that are out-of-print or otherwise unavailable through a legal digital outlet.” “I’ve pirated electronic versions of books I already own physically.” They all line up a variety of reasons why people pirate books, and tell publishers and authors to take note and address these concerns. I’ve read several articles on justification for piracy. But when a new book comes out, as Think of England did last month, and I check for reviews, and a piracy result comes up on the first page within a week of publication… It’s one of those things that could keep you awake all night if you think about it. I don’t usually spend that much time worrying about ebook piracy.
