I think the book was released at midnight and by 10:00am there were scanned copies on the Internet.
I have to believe that if legal copies were available, the law-abiding would gladly pay for them.
I know nothing about distribution costs but I can't imagine them being that excessive.
Modern publishing means that the book already exists in electronic form -- how hard is it to package it with DRM or some other such copy protection and release it?
I just don't know.
But now instead of receiving something from e-book sales they're receiving nothing and the downloaders are feeling perfectly justified because they had no other recourse.
(Not my feelings.... but that is the sort of stuff I've been seeing out there on the Net.)
