No, David Pogue, Ebook Piracy Is Not a Given

adamengst writes "David Pogue recently wrote a widely read blog post in which he explains that piracy is the reason he doesn't make his books available in PDF format. But in this article, TidBITS publisher Adam Engst disagrees strongly with Pogue's opinion, using sales numbers from the Take Control series of ebooks (150,000+ copies sold since 2004 with virtually no copying) as proof that making electronic versions not only doesn't necessarily lead to piracy, it may be the best way of preventing illicit sharing."

YRO or Books

Odd that this article wasn't given a section in Slashdot. I think YRO would be a fine place for dealing with piracy. Books would also work.
