Pirating ebooks is an offence against moral justice

Well put point. I also feel it's an issue of cost, in that, digital media cost to much. We went through the exact same thing with digital music. Major record labels wanted to charge the same prices for digital media as the actual physical media even through the distribution costs for the companies involved was significantly reduced. And that problem was compounded by DRM and vendor lock in. If digital books were accurately priced based on distribution costs, i.e. not having to print physical books, and you actually owned your digital copy (no DRM) people would buy it. These business need to adapt to the changing technology and emerging markets. The age of media empires and tradition industry monopolies is over. We have viable options now. Evolve or face extinction.
