The major book companies know how to deal with book piracy. It's simple. Don't publish books that the average person would care to read.
One of the major piracy forums is offering the entire NY Times Best Seller list. You REALLY want to read the latest herring-scented softcore drivel from pudgy E.L. James? You REALLY want to read another regurgitated history book from ex-TV personality Billy O'Reilly?
If you can't stand Tiffany Haddish and don't even know how or why she's suddenly being inflicted on you via TV, do you want to READ "The Last Black Unicorn?" Do you need windy Chris Matthews flogging the memory of Bobby Kennedy? Are you sick of Neil DeGrass Tyson and not at all interested in "Astrophysics for People in a Hurry" because you're not a nerd? Do you figure you see enough of Trump to not need "Let Trump Be Trump," and doubt history repeats itself so don't need "Andrew Jackson and the Miracle of New Orleans?"
Do you have enough problems getting through the day without wondering about "Leonardo da Vinci" or "What Happened" to Hillary Clinton? Do you seriously think that there's anything worthwhile in yet ANOTHER formula book from Lee Child John Grisham, Janet Evanovich, Nora Roberts or James Patterson?
Yes, the publishing world is very clever. Nobody wants to download any of this crap. The affluent assholes who actually buy hardcovers for $20 or $25 are supporting an industry that gives them just what they want: the same old same old.
