Yeah… But I find it ironic, that she wanted to avoid e-book format to prevent “piracy”, but the book started circulating in the p2p withing 24h anyway.

There is no way to DRM a paper based book. So unless you ban scanners, and OCR software this thing is bound to happen.

It does show she made the wrong choice, but it also shows she was right to worry about piracy.
