I say, if an Animorphs re-release is in the works, we might need to take the ebooks down, possibly permanently. At the very least, make the access to them a lot more restrictive.
The thing is, we want as many people to buy the books as possible, so that the market will be favorable for 2.0, right? And the simple fact of being able to get the books online for free, is going to make far fewer people go out and buy them. Even if we only take them down temporarily, if people find out that it's only temporary (and let's face it, this is the internet, so they would find out), then they might just wait for the ebooks to come back up rather than buying the actual books.
Even if we aren't infringing on any copyright laws (which, truth be told, we probably would be), then we'd still be hurting sales. Which is absolutely the last thing we want. I want Animorphs 2.0!
It is kinda hard for me to say this, because I know that a lot of people have put a lot of work into those e-books, and I love them too. I've used them, and enjoyed them, and a big part of me really doesn't want to see them go. But we have to think about the bigger picture, here. After all these years, if there's any chance at all of new Animorphs books, who are we to be the ones who might be blocking that from happening?
