Yah, I just heard that book piracy is pushing publishers to stop making 
books...

They're looking into a copy protection scheme that puts the book into a 
liquid form, and you have to squirt the whole bottle into your eye to get 
the entire read...  If they can just work out the kinks in the delivery 
system (oops, a drop fell, there goes chapter 17-18)...  That and the sudden 
aneurisms and violent deaths...  Eh, but you can't make an omelette without 
breaking a few eggheads...
