Martyn Daniels skriver det så klart og koncist i sin blog:
“Today the book industry is ill prepared for the potential risk. On one hand everyone is jumping up and down heralding the digital dawn and ebooks and ereaders and getting more publicity than previously dreamt of. On the other hand the digital content is for many reasons only slowly materialising, which fuels the appetite of the pirates. We have exclusive device deals which restrict and marginalise the market. We have a lack of clarity on pricing which confuses the consumer and again is a green light to pirates who can make their offer simple and uniform. We have DRM.”
- Bogbranchen sælger rettighedssikrede udgivelser, på deres egne platforme.
- Det gør livet (med ebøger) besværligt for deres brugere.
- Derfor vælger brugeren piratudgaven der kan hentes gratis og læses uden problemer uanset hvilken computer eller digital enhed, man sidder ved.
