In
this blog entry on book piracy, an author points out that booksellers expect about 5% of the print books in their shop to be stolen.
Theft of physical objects and illegal downloads are obviously (well, to me obviously) not really comparable, but I thought it was funny.
That blog entry is pretty interesting and pragmatic, and the writer concludes that piracy has probably a neutral effect.
