Unfortunately, it's not that simple. For example, I'm aware of a website that has several of the Hentzenwerke e-books available for download. They do not have permission and are not paying anything. However, they're located in a country where there's not much Whil can do about it.

While I'm sure Whil checked it out, I believe there are international treaties that cover property rights, copyright infringement, etc. Though depending on the country, it could be rather difficult.
