Publishers Fear eBook Piracy

TorrentFreak has an interesting article up regarding eBook piracy. The article cites how JKR has an outright ban on electronic versions of her book:

J.K Rowling is copying the Beatles by refusing to make her Harry Potter books available in digital form. As a result her books are among the most pirated titles year after year. Every single book from the Harry Potter series is available digitally, either scanned or transcribed by fans.

I hope I can assume none our readers have partaken in such practice though.
