    I don't really understand the concept of how to pirate, but I certainly understand the cost to an author. Boo pirates.

    I'm hoping one day book pirates will face the same outrageous fines that music pirates are getting these days. Imagine if these illegal fire sharing sites had to pay $85,000 for every ebook they posted!

    I meant 'file' sharing, btw. Not 'fire' sharing.
