That's a nice sentiment, but the reality is that every good book will be scanned, OCR'd and put online by sometime almost immediately. Whether the author may like it or not, these are just the facts of life in the digital world. The faster one embraces it, the less heartache.

Nowadays books get leaked directly from the publisher, no need to OCR.

More typically, broken drm on digital editions, but yes. It's pervasive and typically doesn't require scanning.

Last time I looked this book was not available as a pirate version anywhere. Has that changed? Pozner and Dodd Cross-Examination Science and Techniques.

Here's a review: https://barristerblogger.com/2019/05/16/pozner-dodd-cross-ex...

1) limited general interest

2) when selecting IP to copy and distribute, that of tenacious litigators must be close to the bottom of the list

Yes, reality is harsh, people like free stuff and don't mind to steal if punishment is unlikely, but that doesn't change the fact that one's work is one's private property and it's up to one to decide its fate.
