I read "Internet Book Piracy" recently about this issue and the author, Gini Graham, has valid points and suggestions for reducing piracy; this was one of her suggestions.
I have no problem with Elsevier crying wolf when there's none. They had it coming. I'm concerned about the actual cost to authors.
We need a new model that puts the authors and their readers as first priorities and facilitates the movement of information, not hoarding it. Publishing companies did that for a while, then they declared themselves custodians of our common knowledge and hoarded it from us.
I'm thinking of ways publishing can be made what it should be. Gini Graham has good suggestions that I'd like to see tried out.
