Book Bootlegging

From a NYT story on e-readers like the Kindle leading to an increase in book bootlegging:

For some writers, tracking down illegal e-books is simply not worth it.

“The question is, how much time and energy do I want to spend chasing these guys,” Stephen King wrote in an e-mail message. “And to what end? My sense is that most of them live in basements floored with carpeting remnants, living on Funions and discount beer.”

Christ do I love Stephen King.
