Er, this might not be the best way to fight off decreasing sales in the book industry.

Look Mister, I don't download books et al but if you want throw an American style hissy fit about it, you can be sure I will boycott any books by that association.

Sadly, my list of stuff that I snub is getting really long. WMG seems to be top of the list.
