eBook piracy, how common is it?

I was wondering, how many people read illegal copies and how many buy their books? I think there is one big difference between ebooks and movies regarding the issue that should affect on this poll. It is the fact, that ebooks probably wouldn't exist at all without the legitimate e-publishers. Unlike the AV industry which still isn't able to offer world wide channels for their products, except the piracy.


Answering guide:


In text:
- from below, use the guide that is the most closest thing to your situation
- if it was published free or if you own the paper book version, then select the first option
- if you did lend it from library and deleted it when you returned it to the library, then select the first option
- if it is illegal, then select the second option
- if the third or fourth option really sounds the right one, then by all means select one of those
- if none of above applies and if your country classifies it as legal, but rest of the world thinks it's illegal, then select the second option
- otherwise select the first option
