I am not sure of this - In the next years, any good book is going to be pirated in the net

There is so much junk published these days (how do they manage to make money with such junk, is beyond me), so if I find a good book, I want to spend money and buy it (assuming of course, that I can afford it), just to encourage the author/publisher. The quality of publishing is going to go down even further (just take a look at clickbank and other sites advertising "how to make money with ebooks").

Publishers/Authors can complain all they want, but the truth is we simply do not have authors like we had before (Frost, Dickens etc).

I can't speak for others, but if I find a good author/book I want to spend money on their books.
